This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

JANUAKY,  1895. 


MEMOm  OF  THE  HON.  CHARLES  H.  BELL,  LL.D. 

By  the  Rev.  Edmund  F.  Sulfteb.  D.D. 

Chables  ELenby  Bell  waa  bom  in  Chester,  New  Hampshire, 
on  the  eighteenth  day  of  November,  1823,  and  died  in  Exeter  in 
the  same  State  on  the  eleventh  day  of  November,  1893.  The  emi- 
grant ancestor  of  the  family,  John  Bell,  who  was  bom  in  Ireland 
in  1679,  but  of  Scotch  descent,  settled  in  Londonderry,  New  Hamp- 
fihire,  in  1720.  He  was  one  of  the  original  grantees  of  London- 
deny,  and  an  active  and  foremost  citizen  in  the  affairs  of  the  town. 
His  son  John,  of  the  second  generation  in  this  country,  held  many 
local  offices,  was  a  delegate  to  the  first  constitutional  convention  of 
the  State,  a  Representative  and  a  Senator  in  the  legislature  for 
several  years,  an  officer  of  the  church  to  which  he  belonged,  a 
devout  Christian,  of  good  judgment  and  sterling  integrity.  John, 
of  the  third  generation,  the  father  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was 
a  prosperous  and  successful  man  of  business,  first  in  Derry,  New 
Hampshire,  and  subsequently  in  Chester  in  the  same  State.  He 
was  early  a  member  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  of  the  Senate, 
of  the  Governor's  Council  for  several  years,  sheriff  of  the  county, 
and  WBB  Govemor  of  the  State  in  1828. 

Charles  Henry  Bell  in  his  early  youth  had  the  best  opportunities 
for  education  which  New  England  at  that  time  afforded.  At  the 
age  of  twelve  years  he  was  entered  as  a  student  of  Pembroke 
Academy.  Here  he  remained  two  years.  In  1837  he  became  a 
member  of  Phillips  Aoademy,  in  Exeter,  but  the  next  year  he  re- 
turned to  Pembroke  where  he  completed  his  preparation  for  college. 

He  entered  Dartmouth  College  in  1838,  then  not  fifteen  years 
of  age.  His  brother  had  entered  in  1837,  which  furnished  a  reason 
for  placing  the  younger  brother  in  college  at  that  early  age.  The 
health  of  the  elder  became  delicate,  and  after  the  expiration  of  the 
autumn  term  of  1838,  the  two  young  men  were  withdrawn,  and 
their  connection  with  the  CoUege  severed  for  the  time  being.  During 
the  next  two  years  Charles  Henry  remained,  for  the  most  part,  at

his  home  in  Chester,  ddTatihg  enough  time  to  study  to  keep  his 
preparations  for  colle^,A:esli  in  mind,  while  the  residue  he  gave  to 
such  desultory  rea^JSpg  and  writing  as  suited  his  inclinations  and 
taste.  Some^xdon^hs*,  however,  of  this  period,  probably  in  the  last 
part  of  IS^'-^h^  "early  part  of  1840,  he  devoted  to  the  study  of 
civil  engin^l^rihg,  under  the  direction  of  James  Hayward,  £sq., 
who^e  office  was  in  Joy's  Building  in  Boston. 

.in^'1840  he  re-entered  Dartmouth  College,  joining  the  freshman 

•pJias,"  then  past  sixteen  years  of  age.     He  was  a  faithful  and  con- 

\**.seientious  student,  acquitting  himself  honorably  in  all  departments, 

'  *  always  ranking  among  the  best  third  of  his  class ;  but  he  did  not 

aspire  to  high  attainment  in  exact  scholarship,  as  ambitious  young 

men  often  do.     Impelled  by  an  extraordinary  love  of  knowledge, 

he  was,  during  these  years,  an  insatiate  reader,  and  made  himself 

familiar  with  the  whole  circle  of  English  classics  and  with  the  best 

writers  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic. 

While  an  undergraduate  he  became  deeply  interested  in  military 
affairs,  both  in  the  science  and  in  the  manual  of  the  soldier.  The 
students  of  Dartmouth  at  that  time  were  required  by  law  to  muster 
annually,  as  a  part  of  the  militia  of  the  State.  They  were,  how- 
ever, permitted  to  form  a  company  by  themselves,  which  was  called 
the  Dartmouth  Phalanx.  This  company  was  made  up  of  picked 
men  from  the  whole  college,  and  they  were  naturally  men  who  had 
a  taste,  if  not  for  military  science,  at  least  for  military  drill.  The 
uniform  of  the  officers  was  a  bkck  dress-coat,  white  vest,  and  white 
pantaloons.  The  coat  was  trimmed  with  gold  lace,  the  skirt  being 
lined  with  white  satin.  The  hat  was  a  common  beaver,  bearing  a 
cockade.  The  three  officers  wore  at  the  side  a  highly  decorated  sword. 
The  dress  of  the  men  was  likewise  a  black  dress-coat  and  white  pan- 
taloons, with  knapsack,  canteen,  cartridge  box  and  bayonet  sheath, 
of  approved  pattern  and  make.  While  this  uniform  was  sober  and 
modest,  it  was  nevertheless  dignified  and  effective,  and  in  all  respects 
appropriate  to  a  company  of  scholars.  Under  the  discipline  of  a 
daily  morning  and  evening  drill,  the  Phalanx  attained  an  excellence 
unknown  outside  of  a  military  school.  It  became  the  pride  of  the 
college  and  the  pride  of  the  State.  Mr.  Bell  was  appointed  captain 
of  this  company  on  the  22d  of  April,  1843,  and  retired  from  office  on 
the  18th  of  April,  1844,  a  short  time  before  his  graduation  from  the 
coUege.  His  natural  taste  for  military  knowledge  was  cultivated  and 
developed  by  the  constant  exercise  of  the  company  in  the  manual,  and 
by  the  reading  of  treatises  of  a  far  wider  scope  than  the  exigencies 
of  the  case  required.  These  studies,  elementary  indeed,  became  a  not 
unimportant  branch  of  his  education,  and  were  valuable  to  him  in 
many  ways,  practically  so  when  in  after  years,  in  £xeter,  he  was 
commander  of  the  Sullivan  Guards,  and  still  later,  when  as  Gover- 
nor, he  held  an  official  relation  to  all  the  military  organizations  of 
the  State. 


1895.]  Charles  Henry  Bell.  11 

On  leaving  college  Mr.  Bell  immediately  began  the  study  of  law 
in  the  office  of  the  Hon.  James  Bell  of  Exeter,  who  was,  perhaps, 
the  most  eminent  lawyer  at  that  time  at  the  New  Hampshire  bar. 
He  could  not  have  chosen  a  better  preceptor.  Learned,  dignified 
and  judicious,  careful  and  systematic,  his  office  furnished  a  school 
of  patient  investigation,  thoroughness  and  the  best  practical  work. 
After  two  years  the  Hon.  James  Bell  removed  from  Exeter,  and 
Mr.  Bell  completed  his  studies  under  the  direction  of  the  Hon. 
Samuel  Dana  Bell,  an  able  lawyer,  and  subsequently  Chief  Justice 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  Hampshire. 

He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1847,  and  began  the  practice  of 
his  profession  in  Chester,  the  place  of  his  birth,  and  where  his 
mother  after  the  death  of  his  fistther  continued  to  reside.  This 
beautiful  town  had  many  attractions  in  itself,  and  many  dear  asso- 
ciations, but  it  offered  little  encouragement  to  the  aspirations  of  a 
young  lawyer. 

In  1849  Mr.  Bell  entered  into  a  partnership  with  Nathaniel  Wells 
of  Somersworth,  who  for  some  years  had  been  conducting  an  im- 
portant law  business  in  the  village  of  Great  Falls  in  that  town. 
Here  Mr.  Bell  practically  began  his  career  as  a  lawyer.  Mr.  Wells 
WBB  distinguished  as  a  counsellor,  for  his  office  practice  and  his  able 
and  thorou^  preparation  of  cases  for  argument,  but  he  rarely 
presented  his  own  cases  in  court.  In  this  new  relation,  Mr.  Bell 
found  an  ample  field  for  obtaining  fiicility  and  skill,  which  only 
come  of  experience,  in  presenting  to  courts  and  juries  questions  of 
&ct  or  of  law.  This  department  of  his  profession  he  here  culti- 
vated with  assiduity  and  success. 

In  1854  Mr.  Bell  removed  to  Exeter,  where  he  found  a  larger 
field  and  a  more  satisfactory  clientage.  It  not  only  ftimished  a 
wider  scope  for  legal  knowledge  and  talent,  but  it  was  the  centre 
of  a  cultivated  and  refined  society.  The  seat  of  Phillips  Academy, 
unsurpassed  by  any  other  institution  of  the  same  class  in  New 
England,  amply  equipped  with  instructors  of  the  best  scholarship 
and  varied  learning,  it  had  long  before  attracted  other  residents  of 
congenial  tastes  and  scholarly  habits.  Here  Mr.  Bell  was  happy 
to  make  his  home,  and  here  he  passed  the  remaining  years  of  his 
life. 

In  1856  he  was  appointed  solicitor  of  Rockingham  county. 
This  office  he  continued  to  discharge  for  the  period  of  ten  years, 
and  at  the  same  time  he  conducted  an  important  civil  business  both 
in  his  office  and  in  the  courts.  As  a  lawyer  and  an  advocate,  Mr. 
Bell  had  a  profound  distaste  for  the  vulgar  hectoring  and  black- 
guardism in  which  members  of  the  profession,  even  of  distinction, 
sometimes  indulge.  He  placed  himself  outside  and  above  this  by 
a  maimer  eminently  his  own.  At  all  times  his  conduct  to  witnesses, 
to  the  jury,  to  the  court  and  to  the  opposing  counsel  was  serious, 
courteous,  respectful  and  dignified.     From  this  bearing  and  courtesy 


12  Charles  Henry  Bell.  [Jan. 

to  all  in  the  court  room,  no  personalities  or  ill  manners  could  tempt 
him  for  a  moment  to  depart.  This  method  came  not  as  the  result 
of  studied  art  and  self-discipline,  but  as  the  natural  offspring  of  a 
high  sense  of  propriety  and  an  innate  sense  of  justice.  He  re- 
garded every  trial  before  the  courts,  in  which  he  was  engaged, 
simply  as  a  legal  investigation,  whose  function  was  to  draw  out  and 
establish  justice  between  man  and  man  as  interpreted  by  law  and 
evidence.  He  wanted  no  more,  he  sought  for  no  less.  His  method 
was  a  great  power  with  juries  and  with  courts.  He  possessed  their 
confidence,  and  this  confidence  he  never  misled  or  betrayed.  He 
was  justly  regarded  by  his  compeers  as  an  able  lawyer  and  a  skilfid 
advocate. 

A  few  sentences  from  the  sketch  of  Mr.  Bell  contained  in  the 
"Bench  and  Bar,"  contributed  by  Judge  Jeremiah  Smith,  LL.D., 
now  Story  professor  in  the  Harvard  Law  School,  and  for  some  years 
on  the  bench  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  Hampshire,  will  convey 
his  estimate  of  him  both  as  an  advocate  and  a  lawyer : 

His  arguments  were  generally  brief  but  clear.  He  did  not  waste  his  own 
time  or  the  time  of  the  court.  Almost  never  did  he  utter  a  superfluous 
sentence,  and  seldom  an  unnecessary  word.  ^^  Clearness  of  statement,"  it 
has  been  well  said,  '^  is  the  great  power  at  the  bar."  Mr.  Bell  possessed 
this  faculty  in  a  remarkable  degree.  His  oral  arguments  had  the  crystal- 
like clearness  which  was  so  marked  a  characteristic  of  the  written  opinions 
of  his  cousin,  the  late  Chief  Justice  Samuel  D.  Bell.  It  is  safe  to  say  he 
never  sat  down  without  making  all  his  points  fully  understood.  One  great 
charm  of  Mr.  Bell's  speeches  consisted  in  his  admirable  command  of  lan- 
guage.    He  always  used  the  right  word  in  the  right  place His 

experience  with  juries  proves  that  courtesy  and  fairness  are  not  insuperable 
obstacles  to  success,  and  that  a  man  of  ability  and  integrity  can  obtain 
verdicts  without  resorting  to  any  small  artifices  or  objectionable  methods. 
He  did  not  fawn  upon  jurors  or  flatter  them.  He  did  not  introduce  irre- 
levant topics  for  the  sake  of  exciting  sympathy  for  his  client,  or  prejudice 
against  his  opponent.     But  his  straightforward  method  of  trying  a  case  was 

more  effective  than  the  flank  movements  which  are  sometimes  adopted 

It  was  probably  the  general  opinion  of  Mr.  Bell's  friends  that,  though  he 
was  successful  at  the  bar,  yet  the  more  appropriate  place  for  him  was  the 
bench,  where  two  near  kinsmen  had  serv^  with  distinction.  He  certainly 
possessed  marked  qualifications  for  that  position ;  a  competent  knowledge  of 
law,  practical  experience,  tact,  sound  sense,   a  dignified  presence  and  a 

power  of  controlling  men Had  he  remained  in  active  practice,  he 

must  ere  lon^  have  been  tendered  a  judgeship. 

To  these  statements  of  Judge  Smith,  we  are  tempted  to  add  the 
following  brief  sentence  from  a  private  note  of  Judge  Charles  Doe, 
LL.D.,  the  present  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New 
Hampshire : 

A  mind  more  capable  of  grasping,  mastering  and  presenting  legal  ques- 
tions, quickly,  clearly  and  thoroughly,  I  have  never  known. 


1895.]  Charles  Henry  Bell.  13 

In  dealing  with  legal  principles  and  their  practical  application, 
Mr.  Bell  took  great  pleasure,  but  the  conflict  and  wrangling  of  the 
ooortr-room  were  alien  to  his  nature  and  foreign  to  his  tastes.  After 
twenty-one  yearns  experience,  in  1868,  he  retired  from  active  prao- 
tioe  at  the  bar,  and  devoted  himself  to  more  congenial  pursuits. 
After  this  period,  however,  he  was  often  appointed  a  referee,  whose 
duties  he  personaUy  enjoyed,  and  which  he  discharged  with  unusual 
satisfaction  to  all  parties.  His  findings,  we  have  been  informed  on 
good  authority,  were  without  an  exception  approved  by  the  courts, 
and,  we  think,  no  appeal  from  his  decisions  was  ever  made  on  points 
of  law,  or  if  made  was  not  sustained. 

In  1858,  1859,  1860,  1872  and  1873,  Mr.  Bell  represented 
Exeter  in  the  legislature  of  the  State.  He  was  a  State  Senator  in 
1863  and  1864.  He  was  Spanker  of  the  House  in  1860,  and 
President  of  the  Senate  in  1864.  In  his  first  year  in  the  House  he 
was  made  chairman  of  the  judiciary  conmiittee,  a  very  unusual  honor 
to  a  young  member.  In  the  later  years  of  his  membership  he  was 
the  acknowledged  leader  of  the  House,  and  one  of  the  most  useftd 
and  influential  of  its  members. 

In  1879,  by  the  appointment  of  the  governor,  he  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  United  States  Senate,  to  fill  a  vacancy  until  an  election 
in  the  following  June. 

He  was  governor  of  New  Hampshire  for  a  term  of  two  years  from 
June,  1881  to  June,  1883.  In  his  political  aflSnities,  Governor 
Bell  was  a  republican  from  the  organization  of  that  party.  He  was, 
however,  never  a  politician  in  the  modem  vulgar  sense  of  the  word. 
He  sought  no  political  advancement.  The  office  sought  him,  not 
he  the  office.  He  was,  however,  thoroughly  loyal  to  his  principles 
and  to  his  party.  When  it  called  him  to  a  public  service  and 
pledged  him  its  support,  and  he  had  accepted  its  pledges,  he  occu- 

Eied  a  new  relation.  Khe  had  any  personal  ambition,  it  was  closely 
ound  up  with  the  success  of  the  party.  He  stated  publicly  and 
privately,  frankly,  clearly  and  fnlly  the  principles  and  spirit  that 
would  animate,  shape  and  control  his  administration.  This  frank- 
ness was  doubtless  a  potent  cause  of  his  popularity.  He  adminis- 
tered the  trusts  conmiitted  to  him  under  the  dictates  of  a  deliberate 
and  well  informed  judgment.  His  administration  bore  the  test  of 
time  and  experience.  His  wisdom  was  justified  by  events.  The 
citizens  trusted  him  and  were  never  deceived.  When  he  was  nomi- 
nated for  governor  of  the  State  by  the  republican  party  of  New 
Hampshire,  it  was  by  acclamation.  There  was  no  dissenting  voice. 
His  election,  subsequently,  we  are  informed,  was  by  the  largest 
number  of  votes  ever  cast  for  a  governor  in  the  State  of  New  Hamp- 
shire. He  discharged  the  duties  of  the  office  with  dignity,  im- 
partiality and  wisdom,  and  we  may  add  with  the  approbation  and 
satisfaction  of  all  parties  within  hiis  jurisdiction. 

In  1889  Mr.  Bell  completed  his  public  service  in  the  interest  of

the  State  by  preaiding  over  a  coiiTention^  called  to  revise  its  Con- 
stitution and  adapt  it  to  the  expanding  growth  of  the  State  in 
population  and  wealth.  It  was  an  important  and  influential  posi- 
tion to  occupy,  and  he  was  highly  gratified  to  be  honored  in  being 
called  to  preside  over  a  politicid  body  of  such  distinction  and  dignity. 
It  was  a  courteous  testimony  of  confidence  and  respect  from  his 
fellow  citizens,  and  a  pleasant  roimding  off  and  completion  of  his 
political  career. 

Mr.  Bell  took  an  active  personal  interest  in  education  in  all  its 
stages,  branches  and  instrumentalities;  in  schools,  lyceums  and 
libraries.  While  he  was  governor  of  the  State,  he  was  a  trustee, 
eQ&^ffido,  of  Dartmouth  CoUege,  and  was  a  constant  and  punctual 
attendant  upon  the  deliberations  of  the  Board. 

He  was  an  active  member,  from  the  start,  of  the  board  of  laras- 
tees  of  the  seminary,  established  in  Exeter  by  the  munificent  legacy 
of  William  Robinson,  a  native  of  Exeter,  but  at  the  time  of  his 
death  a  citizen  of  Augusta,  Georgia.  The  endowment  was  about 
$250,000,  and  by  the  provisions  of  the  will,  established  a  school 
for  girls  only,  thus  supplementing  the  interests  of  education  in 
Exeter  by  furnishing  for  girls  what  Dr.  John  Phillips  had  done 
for  boys  in  the  later  years  of  the  preceding  century.  During  the 
period  between  the  signing  of  the  will  and  its  execution,  a  great 
depression  of  values  had  taken  place,  and  it  was  found  that  Mr. 
Robinson's  family  was  not  as  generously  provided  for  as  the  testator 
had  intended.  Mr.  Bell,  and  another  member  of  a  committee 
appointed  by  the  town,  visited  Mrs.  Robinson  in  Georgia,  and  after 
a  thorough  investigation  made  an  adjustment  which  was  entirely 
satisfactory.  A  plan  for  the  organization  of  the  school  was  elabor- 
ated with  much  care,  suitable  action  was  taken  by  the  legislature, 
and  in  1867  the  school  was  put  into  operation.  In  all  this  Mr. 
Bell  took  an  active  and  leading  part.  On  the  fourth  day  of  July, 
1868,  he  laid  the  comer-stone  of  the  school  building  of  the  semi- 
nary, with  elaborate  Masonic  ceremonies,  on  which  occasion  he  de- 
livered a  discourse  in  which  after  a  rapid  glance  at  the  educational 
interests  of  the  town  from  the  beginning  down  to  the  present  time, 
he  closed  with  a  graceful  and  eloquent  peroration  on  the  breadth 
and  extent  of  this  noble  endowment.  Mr.  Bell  served  on  the  board 
of  trustees  of  the  Robinson  Seminary  for  the  period  of  ten  years, 
when  he  resigned. 

In  1879  he  was  made  a  trustee  of  Phillips  Exeter  Academy, 
which  office  he  continued  to  hold,  and  was  president  of  the  Boud 
at  the  time  of  his  death.  The  high  character  of  this  school,  the 
large  number  of  its  scholars  and  the  distinguished  ability  required 
in  its  teachers,  and  the  consequent  and  imperative  importance  of 
keeping  every  part  of  the  institution  in  a  sound  and  healthy  condi- 
tion, made  the  responsibilities  of  the  trusteed,  especially  of  those 
resident  in  the  town,  constant,  and  often  delicate  and  perplexmg.

Mr.  Bell's  eimiietitly  judicial  mind,  his  calm  and  even  temper,  his 
wise  forethought,  his  care  to  know  thoroughly  every  question  that 
required  deliberation,  made  him  during  all  these  years  a  usefiil  and 
influential  trustee  of  the  Academy.  From  the  meetings  of  the 
Board,  sometimes  held  in  Exeter  and  sometimes  in  Boston,  he  was 
rarely,  if  ever,  absents 

Since  his  death,  Mr.  Charles  Marseilles  of  Exeter  has  presented 
to  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  the  Academy  Gallery  a  crayon  portrait 
of  Governor  Bell  executed  by  the  distinguished  artist,  William 
Kurtz  of  New  York. 

Mr.  Bell  wrote  and  delivered  numerous  discourses  on  education 
in  its  various  relations  to  human  progress,  which  remain  in  manu- 
script. Among  others  a  discourse  on  ^  the  comparative  advantages 
of  the  Lyceum  at  Athens  in  ancient  Greece  and  the  Lyceums  of 
Our  own  country" ;  one  on  **the  changes  in  the  methods  of  instruc- 
tion in  the  last  half  century  in  our  New  England  schools" ;  and  an- 
other on  **the  high  aims  and  lofty  purposes  that  ought  to  animate 
and  control  the  scholar."  The  treatment  of  these  and  kindred  sub- 
jects occupied  such  hours  as  he  could  spare  from  the  duties  of  an 
exacting  profession. 

After  his  retirement  from  the  bar  in  1868  Mr.  Bell  had  ample 
leisure  for  such  occupations  and  pursuits  as  were  most  agreeable  to 
Ins  inclinations  and  tastes.  He  did  not  announce  to  others,  or 
even  propose  to  himself,  a  literary  career.  He  simply  did  in  the 
field  of  literature  whatever  seemed  to  have  obvious  claims  upon  his 
attention.  In  nearly  every  undertaking  there  was  some  plain  personal 
or  other  adequate  reason  for  its  performance  by  him  rather  than  by  any 
one  else.  He  engaged  in  no  work  that  was  trivial  or  unimportant ; 
neither  did  he  wait  for  some  great  subject  to  present  itself,  in  the 
treatment  of  which  he  might  anticipate  personal  distinction  and 
fiune.  He  plainly  acted  on  the  excellent  maxim,  *^a  wise  man  will 
do  always  and  thoroughly  the  duty  that  lies  nearest  to  him." 

Mr.  Bell's  first  literary  venture  was  the  Life  of  William  M. 
Richardson,  LL.D.,  late  Chief  Justice  of  the  Superior  Court  in 
New  Hampshire.  This  little  twelvemo  volume  of  90  pages  was 
published  in  March,  1839,  only  four  months  after  the  author  had 
Mmpleted  fifteen  years  of  his  age.  While  it  contains  the  marks  of 
a  youthful  hand,  it  nevertheless  contains  a  clear  and  systematic 
compendium  of  the  life  and  career  of  its  distinguished  subject.  It 
remained  for  more  than  half  a  century  a  valuable  memorial  of  a  man 
of  singular  merit,  of  judicial  ability  and  learning,  and  has  not  even 
now  been  superseded,  unless  by  the  more  compact  and  mature  cour 
tribution  by  the  same  antfior,  in  his  *^  Bench  and  Bar"  of  New 


On  the  10th  of  June,  1869,  Mr.  Bell,  by  invitation,  delivered  an 
oration  in  Deny,  New  Hampshire,  at  the  150th  Anniversary  of  the 
Settleme&t  oi  Old  Nutfield,  comprising  the  towns  of  Londondeny, 


16  CharUi  Henry  Bell.  [Jan. 

Derry,  Windham,  and  parts  of  Manchester,  Hudson  and  Salem. 
The  subject  of  this  discourse  is  the  character  of  the  early  settlers  of 
Londonderry  and  the  influence  of  the  settlement  upon  the  com- 
munity. It  is  not,  therefore,  an  historical  sketch,  but  an  illustration 
of  these  two  themes  by  a  general  statement  of  the  history  of  the 
colonists,  the  trials  and  difficulties  through  which  they  passed,  the 
dangers  of  a  frontier  settlement  in  the  depths  of  a  primeval  forest, 
the  education  of  their  children  and  the  maintenance  of  their  religious 
institutions;  their  hardy  and  robust  physiques,  their  intellectual 
strength  and  vigor,  theu-  stem,  unbending  religious  principle,  the 
great  achievements  of  many  of  their  descendants,  their  prudence, 
their  industry,  their  sound  judgment  and  self-reliance ;  all  these 
points  are  discussed  with  great  fullness,  but  nevertheless  without 
any  invidious  distinction  or  eulogy  of  individuals,  with  the  single 
exception  of  a  few  resolute  and  brave  men,  who,  in  the  wars  of  the 
country,  covered  themselves  and  their  names  with  glory  by  their 
noble  and  heroic  conduct. 

Mr.  BeU  published  in  1871  an  octavo  volume  of  seventy-three 
pages,  entitled  **Men  and  Things  of  Exeter,  New  Hampshire.'* 
This  historical  brochure  was  replete  with  interest  to  the  dweller  in 
Exeter.  It  described  the  early  settlement  of  the  town ;  recounted 
many  striking  colonial  events ;  the  stirring  occurrences  of  the  revo- 
lution ;  the  outbreak  of  the  popular  feelings  at  different  times  and 
their  causes ;  the  visit  of  the  celebrated  English  evangelist,  White- 
field,  in  1770,  and  that  of  Washington  in  1789  ;  the  religious  es- 
tablishments of  the  town  from  the  beginning,  and  the  character  and 
influence  of  their  various  ministers  down  to  the  present  time. 

The  same  year,  on  the  18th  of  March,  1871,  Mr.  Bell  delivered 
a  discourse  in  Boston,  on  the  invitation  of  the  New-England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society,  at  the  dedication  of  the  Society's 
House.  It  was  published  by  the  Society  with  the  proceedings  on 
the  occasion. 

The  discourse  recites  compactly  and  clearly  the  growth  in  this 
country  of  historical  sentiment  and  interest  during  the  last  gen- 
eration ;  it  points  to  the  patronage  of  the  government,  its  publi- 
cation of  certain  historical  works  at  the  public  cost  and  its  sanction 
by  the  people.  It  informs  us  that  new  workers  are  constantly  coming 
into  the  field,  historical  libraries  are  multiplying,  and  memorials  of 
the  past  are  brought  together  to  illustrate  its  history.  We  are  re- 
minded of  the  unexampled  riches  and  extent  of  the  field  and  the 
prolific  sources  of  historical  material.  Dangers  are  pointed  out. 
Hasty  and  superficial  work  is  deprecated.  Faithful  and  conscien- 
tious work  is  already  everywhere  recognized  and  appreciated,  and 
a  brilliant  career  in  the  Aiture  is  predicted  for  the  able,  broad- 
minded  and  accomplished  historian. 

In  1873  Mr.  Bell  delivered  an  address  before  the  New  Hampshire 
Historical  Society,  being  the  semi-centennial  anniversary  of  the 


1895.]  Charlei  Henry  Bell.  17 

{bunding  of  the  Society  and  the  250th  anniversaiy  of  the  settle- 
ment of  New  Hampshire.  In  this  discourse  is  sketched  an  outline 
of  New  Hampshire's  early  colonial  history,  a  brief  mention  of  its 
organization  as  a  State,  the  birth  of  the  Historical  Society,  its  dis- 
tinguished early  members  and  workers,  its  special  labors  and 
achievements  in  the  past,  and  the  broad  and  inviting  domain  that 
stretches  out  for  its  occupation  and  cultivation  in  the  iuture. 

Mr.  Bell  published  a  pamphlet  entitled  "Exeter  in  1776. 
Sketches  of  an  old  New  Hampshire  town  as  it  was  a  hundred  years 
ago.  Prepared  for  the  Liadies'  Centennial  Levee  held  in  Exeter, 
February  22,  1876."  The  title  of  this  paper  explains  its  purpose. 
The  limits  of  the  little  village  as  it  was  in  1776  are  defined ;  the  old 
houses,  public  and  private,  are  described ;  the  methods  of  business, 
the  customs  and  habits  of  the  people  are  pictured  with  the  personal 
character  of  the  prominent  men,  enlivened  by  numerous  illustrative 
incidents  and  anecdotes. 

The  same  year  an  important  volume  was  issued,  entitled  ^  John 
Wheelwright,  his  writings,  including  his  fast  day  sermon,  1637, 
and  his  Mercurius  Americanus,  1645,  with  a  paper  upon  the 
genuineness  of  the  Indian  Deed  of  1629,  and  a  Memoir."  This 
volume,  published  by  the  Prince  Society  in  1876,  is  one  of  the 
series  of  its  valuable  historical  publications.  It  is  a  small  quarto  of 
253  pages.  The  memoir  by  Mr.  Bell  is  the  first  complete  biography 
of  the  Rev.  John  Wheelwright  ever  published.  It  was  carefuUy 
prepared,  largely  from  old  manuscript  records,  after  the  most 
thorough  researches,  and  is  an  important  contribution  to  New 
England  history.  The  paper  on  the  Indian  deed  of  1629  presents 
clearly  and  fully  the  arguments  for  and  against  the  genuineness  of 
the  document.  At  the  time  of  the  publication  of  this  volume  in 
1876,  no  evidence  had  been  produced  proving  that  Wheelwright  was 
not  in  this  country  in  1629  ;  and  if  he  were  here,  there  was  a  strong 
probability  that  the  deed  was  genuine.  Subsequently,  records  were 
found  establishing  the  fact  that  he  was  in  England  at  the  time  of 
the  alleged  execution  of  the  deed.  This  rendered  it  nearly  certain 
that  the  instrument  was  a  fabrication.  Mr.  Bell  made  this  known 
in  a  letter  published  in  the  New-England  Historical  and  Genea- 
logical Register  for  July,  1891.  A  careful  examination  of  Mr. 
Bell's  treatment  of  the  subject  will  show  how  completely  he  was 
able  to  see  all  sides  of  a  difficult  and  controverted  subject. 

In  the  month  of  July,  1876,  Mr.  Bell,  accompanied  by  his 
(amily,  made  a  voyage  to  Europe,  where  he  passed  a  year,  returning 
in  July,  1877.  His  travels  extended  to  England,  Ireland,  Scot- 
land, France,  Germany,  Austria,  Switzerland  and  Italy,  passing 
several  weeks  in  the  great  cities  and  central  points  of  interest  in 
each  of  these  countries.  In  this  period  he  not  only  visited  the  many 
objects  and  places  of  antiquarian  and  historic  interest  and  fame  which 
fell  in  his  way,  but  he  made  a  survey,  more  or  less  satisfactory.

of  the  finest  existing  works  of  art,  in  painting,  sculpture  and 
architecture. 

In  the  series  of  Memorial  Biographies  published  by  the  New- 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  Mr.  Bell  contributed  in 
1880  a  memoir  of  Daniel  Webster.  An  outline  of  Mr.  Webster's 
whole  life  is  compressed,  in  this  paper,  into  twenty  pages.  It  pre- 
sents, of  course,  only  the  prominent  and  striking  incidents  of  his 
extraordinary  career.  Its  brevity  is  characteristic  of  the  author's 
method,  and  illustrates  his  style,  at  once  concise  and  comprehensive. 
One  great  event  passes  so  easily  and  naturally  into  another  that 
this  brief  summary  has  the  appearance  of  a  complete  and  finished 
whole.     We  have  seen  no  better  epitome  of  Mr.  Webster's  life. 

The  same  year,  Mr.  Bell  delivered  a  discourse  before  the  Alumni 
Association  of  Dartmouth  College,  in  memory  of  the  Hon.  Ira 
Perley,  LL.D.,  late  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Judicial  Court 
of  New  Hampshire.  This  was  one  of  a  series  of  discourses  de- 
livered at  the  request  of  the  alumni  in  honor  of  graduates  of  that 
institution  who  were  distinguished  injudicial  stations.  The  writers 
were  limited  as  to  time,  and  this,  as  was  the  brief  paper  on  Mr. 
Webster,  is  an  illustration  of  succinctness  and  completeness  com- 
bined, and  is  a  finely  drawn  outline  of  the  character  and  career  of 
that  remarkable  scholar  and  jurist,  who  in  ability  is  ranked  by  Mr. 
Bell  "with  our  Marshalls,  our  Parsonses  and  our  Kents." 

In  1881,  at  the  anniversary  of  the  New  Hampshire  Alpha  of  the 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  Society  at  Dartmouth  College,  Mr.  Bell  delivered 
an  oration  which  was  published  by  the  Society.  The  subject  was, 
•'The  Worship  of  Success."  He  pointed  out  that  in  this  country 
the  avenues  to  success  are  open  to  all,  and  that  the  struggle  for  it 
is  excessive  and  undiscriminating.  The  means  of  attaining  it  are 
often  unworthy  and  debasing.  They  cloud  the  moral  vision,  warp 
the  judgment  and  obliterate  the  distinction  between  right  and 
vnrong.  There  is  a  noble  and  an  ignoble  ambition.  The  passion  for 
wealth,  fame  and  power  should  be  limited,  and  subordinated  to  a 
high  moral  purpose.  Honest  labor  is  dignified  and  noble.  **  It  is 
not  the  sphere  of  one's  work,  but  the  work  one  does  in  his  sphere, 
that  determines  his  rank  as  a  benefactor  of  the  world."  The  edu- 
cated class  can  do  much  to  free  society  from  ignorant  pretention  and 
unworthy  ambitions,  from  the  moral  obliquity  that  blindly  worships 
unworthy  success. 

Mr.  Bell  published  in  1883  an  octavo  volume  of  somewhat  more 
than  a  hundred  pages,  entitled  "  Phillips  Exeter  Academy  in  New 
Hampshire." 

It  contains  a  complete  outline  of  the  history  of  the  Academy  from 
the  beginning,  a  fiiU  memoir  of  Dr.  John  Phillips,  the  founder,  the 
design  of  the  Academy  as  indicated  by  its  charter,  some  account  of 
its  distinguished  preceptors,  and  much  detail  relating  to  the  changes, 
progress  and  growth  of  the  institution.     The  volume  contains  a 


1895.]  Oharle9  Henry  Bell.  19 

complete  and  authentie  list  of  the  trustees  and  teachers  from  1781 
to  1883. 

In  1885  Mr.  Bell  wrote  a  memoir  of  the  late  Dr.  John  Taylor 
Grilman  of  Portland,  Maine,  which  was  privately  printed. 

It  was  intended  to  put  upon  record  the  estimate,  both  public  and 
private,  of  the  character  and  career  of  this  distinguished  physician, 
for  the  gratification  of  his  family  and  friends.  The  story  of  his  life, 
domestic  and  professional,  in  tins  pamphlet  of  thirty-six  pages,  is 
gracefully  told. 

Mr.  Bell  delivered  an  address  in  Exeter,  June  7,  1888,  on  the 
two  hundred  and  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  settlement  of  the  town, 
entitled  ^Exeter  Quarter-Millennial."  The  period  treated  by  this 
discourse  is  divided  into  five  sections,  each  covering  fifty  years. 
While  it  is  the  principal  aim  of  Uie  address  to  show  how  Exeter 
discharged  its  duties  as  a  town,  how  it  met  its  obligations  to  the 
State  of  New  Hampshire  and  to  the  general  government,  at  the 
same  time  it  gives  much  information  of  a  local  character,  such  as 
its  contributions  in  men  and  money  and  influence  in  the  several 
wars  through  which  the  country  has  passed,  and  the  distinguished 
citizens  who  took  part  in  these  numerous  conflicts.  It  is  a  purely 
historical  document,  and  was  well  adapted  to  the  very  interesting 
occasion  for  which  it  was  prepared. 

The  same  year,  1888,  Mr.  Bell  published  **The  History  of  the 
Town  of  Exeter,  New  Hampshire."  It  is  an  octavo  volume  of  more 
than  550  pages.  The  subject  of  the  work  is  treated  topically  and 
not  chronologically.  The  character  and  career  of  the  Rev.  John 
Wheelwright,  Uie  founder  of  the  town,  the  Exeter  combination  and 
the  allotment  of  lands,  are  ftdly  delineated.  The  religious  societies, 
the  Indian  and  French  wars,  ihe  revolution  and  other  wars,  schools 
and  academies,  Uie  press,  manufactures,  burial  places,  ornamental 
trees,  old  houses,  prominent  families,  lawyers  and  medical  men ; 
all  these  are  treated  as  distinct  and  separate  subjects,  a  method  un- 
usual, but  which  ofiers  nevertheless  some  important  advantages. 
The  gathering  together  of  the  material  of  this  large  volume,  the 
organizing  and  marshalling  its  scattered  fragments  into  form  for 
the  reader,  was  the  patient  work  of  many  years,  and  it  must  remain 
an  indestructible  monument  to  Mr.  Bell's  loyalty  and  devotion  to  the 
interests  of  the  town,  where  he  passed  so  many  happy  and  usefid 
years. 

At  the  anniversary  of  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument  Association 
on  the  17th  of  June,  1891,  Mr.  Bell,  by  invitation  of  the  Associa- 
tion, delivered  a  discourse  on  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  in  which 
he  points  out  the  particular  part  performed  by  the  New  Hampshire 
troops.  The  history  of  the  whole  battle  is  outlined  with  great 
clearness,  but  the  part  taken  by  the  New  Hampshire  regiments  is 
described  with  rare  distinctness  and  fulness,  and  on  evidence  which 
admits  of  no  contradiction.     New  Hampshire  had  waited  too  long 


20  Charle$  Henry  Bell.  [Jan. 

for  a  writer  competent  to  perform  this  valuable  service.  To  his 
graphic  description  of  the  action,  Mr.  Bell  gives  brief  memoirs  of 
the  prominent  New  Hampshire  men  who  were  engaged  in  this  re- 
nowned conflict. 

The  last  work  published  by  Mr.  Bell  is  the  *^  Bench  and  Bar  of 
New  Hampshire."  It  is  an  octavo  volume  of  795  pages,  and  bears 
the  imprint  of  1894.  It  contains  memoirs  of  eighty  judges  of  the 
highest  courts  of  the  Province  and  State,  and  memoirs  of  seven 
hundred  and  ninety-one  lawyers,  who  had  practised  their  profession 
in  New  Hampshire.  In  addition  to  these  the  volume  contains  the 
names  of  seven  hundred  and  eleven  lawyers  now  living,  who  have  at 
some  period  been  in  practice  within  the  limits  of  the  State.  The 
work  had  just  reached  its  completion,  and  was  nearly  through  the 
press,  when  the  author  was  suddenly  summoned  away  by  death. 
An  index  was  added  by  the  publisher,  and  a  few  other  accessories 
by  Mrs.  Bell.  In  a  literary  point  of  view,  in  the  extent  and  com- 
pleteness of  the  work,  this  is  the  magnum  opus  of  all  the  author's 
publications.  The  collection  of  the  material  for  even  brief  sketches 
of  eight  hundred  and  seventy-one  judges  and  lawyers  could  not  but 
occupy  the  vigilant  thought  and  assiduous  labor  of  years.  Each  of 
the  sketches  is  complete  in  itself,  and  is  greater  or  less  in  extent 
according  to  the  material  accessible  and  the  prominence  and  im- 
portance of  the  subject.  There  are  certain  characteristics  or  lines 
in  the  career  of  men  in  the  same  profession  which  are  similar,  and 
sometimes  seem  to  be  almost  identical.  The  reader  of  these  sketches 
will,  we  think,  be  surprised  nevertheless  to  see  how  widely  one 
sketch  differs  from  another.  The  skill  and  ingenuity  of  the  author 
have  caused  the  narratives  to  spring  up  and  take  shape  from  those 
elements  which  are  personal  and  peculiar,  and  consequently  each 
narrative  is  different  from  all  others,  and  has  a  coloring,  freshness 
and  individuality  of  its  own.  Many  of  the  sketches  are  illustrated 
and  enlivened  by  anecdotes  and  incidents  characteristic  of  the  men 
and  of  the  times.  We  think  it  no  exaggeration  to  say  that  this 
volume  is  the  richest  and  most  valuable  contribution  to  the  history 
of  New  Hampshire  which  has  been  made  in  the  present  century. 
In  the  preface  the  author  says,  ^*  The  preparation  of  this  work  has 
been  to  me  a  labor  of  love,  and  I  now  offer  it  in  partial  satisfaction 
of  the  debt  I  owe  to  a  noble  profession." 

Subsequently  to  1868,  after  his  retirement  from  the  bar,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  preparation  for  the  press  of  the  numerous  publications  to 
which  we  have  referred,  Mr.  Bell  gave  mu^^h  of  his  leisure  to  vari- 
ous historical  and  atiquarian  studies.  T^'  3  early  colonial  history  of 
New  England,  and  of  New  Hampshire  in  .  )articular,  always  claimed 
an  engrossing  interest.  He  made  himsc  *'n;>iliar  with  its  outlines 
and  its  important  details.  He  appreciate  i  u.  ^xlue  and  importance 
of  getting  at  the  heart  and  core  of  history,  and  to  do  this  he  not 
only  studied  from  original  sources  the  habits,  customs,  education

and  religion  of  the  people,  but  the  motives  and  springs  of  action 
which  animated  and  controlled  their  rulers.     With  the  governors 
and  lesser  magistrates,  the  leading  men  in  all  grades  of  civil  and 
military  affairs,  their  power  and  method  of  using  it,  he  became  in- 
timately acquainted.     He  carried  the  same  method  into  the  study 
of  the  American  revolution  and  the  history  of  the  United  States. 
Coordinate  to  these  studies,  or  as  a  supplemennt  to  them,  he  made 
collections  of  autograph  letters  and  engraved  portraits,  sometimes 
adding  an  engraved  representation  of  the  home  of  the  subject,  or  a 
brief  sketch  of  his  life  in  print.     Each  one  of  them  was  an  object 
lesson  in  history.     Around  them  clustered  by  a  law  of  association 
the  incidents  and  events  of  a  whole  career,  or  a  whole  life.     They 
were  gathered  into  groups  in  order  to  illustrate  some  period  or  great 
event  in  histoiy.     Mr.  Bell  made  a  large  number  of  these  illustra- 
tive collections.     One  group  included  the  distinguished  characters 
who  played  an  active  and  important  part  in  the  period  immediately 
preceding  the  American  revolution ;  another  included  Washington 
and  those  most  closely  associated  with  him ;  a  third,  the  distinguished 
men  in  any  way  connected  with  General  Burgoyne  and  his  cam- 
paign ;  in  like  manner  those  who  figured  in  the  siege  of  Boston 
and  in  the  capture  of  Yorktown.     Several  other  groups  were  formed 
not  less  interesting  and  important.     Besides  these,  Mr.  Bell  took 
great  pleasure,  as  a  pastime  and  an  historical  study,  in  illustrating 
in  the  same  way  his  History  of  Exeter,  his  Life  of  John  Wheel- 
wright, Sparks's  Life  of  Washington,  Belknap's  History  of  New 
Hampshire,  and  several  other  smaller  works.     This  combination  of 
study  and  amusement  not  only  absorbed  agreeably  many  leisure 
hours,  but  it  served  to  daguerreotype  upon  the  mind  men  and  events 
in  a  way  never  to  be  effaced.     Of  those  whose  autograph  letters 
and  portraits  he  deemed  worthy  of  preservation,  he  obtained  from 
all  accessible  sources  a  distinct  and  full  knowledge.     There  was 
scarcely  a  general  or  regimental  officer  in  the  Revolutionary  war, 
of  whose  value  and  importance  in  the  service  he  had  not  arrived  at 
an  accurate  and  distinct  opinion. 

In  these  studies,  in  which  taste  and  pleasure  and  intellectual  profit 
were  so  happily  combined,  Mrs.  Bell  was  always  a  sympathizing 
co-worker,  and  did  herself  much  interesting  and  valuable  coordinate 
work. 

Mr.  Bell  made  a  collection,  to  which  he  gave  his  attention  for 
many  years,  of  books  and  pamphlets  printed  in  Exeter.  He  ob- 
tained two  hundred  and  ten  titles  of  these  imprints  alone,  mostly 
published  before  1840.  This  collection  he  bequeathed  to  tlie  town 
library,  in  which  he  had  always  taken  an  active  interest.  At  the 
time  of  his  death  he  was  chairman  of  a  committee  appointed  by  the 
town  for  the  erection  of  a  library  building.  In  this  building,  since 
completed,  we  learn  that  a  special  book-case  has  been  set  apart  for

the  safe-keeping  of  the  Exeter  imprintSy  and  as  a  memorial  of  the 
giver. 

He  also  made  a  similar  and  much  larger  collection,  which  he  pre- 
sented to  the  New  Hampshire  Historical  Society.  It  contains 
eleven  hundred  and  five  volumes  and  about  one  thousand  pamph- 
lets. It  was  made  on  a  definite  and  systematic  plan.  It  comprises 
three  classes :  first,  publications  printed  in  New  Hampshire ;  second, 
those  by  New  Hampshire  authors  but  printed  elsewhere ;  third,  such 
other  publications  as  are  in  some  special  manner  connected  with 
the  interests  or  history  of  New  Hampshire.  This  collection,  thus 
brought  together,  is  unique,  and  its  importance  and  historical  value, 
particularly  as  a  bibliography  of  New  Hampshire,  can  hardly  be 
over-estimated.  We  learn  that  it  is  very  properly  kept  in  a  separate 
apartment  of  the  library,  exclusively  appropriated  to  its  use,  on 
which  is  inscribed  the  Bell  Alcove. 

For  many  years  he  was  assiduous  in  collecting  an  historical  lib- 
rary for  his  personal  use.  No  description  of  it  can  be  attempted 
in  these  pages.  It  will  suffice  to  say  that  the  collection  constitutes 
not  only  a  very  complete  working  historical  library,  but  is  likewise 
rich  in  rare  and  valuable  Americana. 

Mr.  Bell  gave  some  attention  to  numismatics,  especially  to 
American  medals  and  coins.  Of  the  colonial  and  United  States 
coins  and  paper  money  he  made  a  valuable  collection. 

Besides  his  other  occupations  he  was  a  voluminous  contributor 
to  the  journals  of  the  day  on  many  important  and  interesting  sub- 
jects. Some  of  these  papers  might  well  have  been  noticed  in  these 
pages  did  space  allow.* 

For  twenty-five  years,  with  the  exception  of  one  year  abroad, 
Mr.  Bell  passed  his  summers  at  the  seashore  in  his  cottage  at  Little 
Boar's  Head.  He  took  a  leading  interest  in  the  local  affairs  of  the 
place,  and  was  president  of  its  "Village  Improvement  Society** 
from  its  organization.  His  commanding  and  dignified  presence 
will  not  soon  be  forgotten  by  those  who  resort  to  that  quiet  and 
attractive  shore. 

In  social  life  Mr.  Bell  was  somewhat  reticent,  especially  in  mat- 
ters relating  to  himself,  modest,  and  even  diffident.  There  was  a 
subtle  magnetism  in  some  way  connected  with  his  personality  which 
drew  others  to  him  as  by  an  invisible  cord.  He  rarely  indulged  in 
what  is  commonly  called  **  small  talk,**  but  was  courteous  and 
cordial,  a  jeady  listener  and  an  unusually  good  conversationist. 
He  did  not  eigiand  and  adorn  his  subject  with  figures  of  speech,  or 
the  flowers  of  rhetoric,  but  gave  the  pith  and  core  of  the  subject  in

hand  in  clear,  direct  and  graceful  language.  He  charmed  his 
hearers  by  showing  them  the  richness  of  pure,  simple,  unadorned 
truth.  In  private  circles  and  with  his  most  intimate  friends  he 
often  indulged  in  a  plajriul  humor,  and  occasional  flashes  of  wit, 
but  this  propensity,  dangerous  when  given  a  free  rein,  was  always 
under  restraint,  and  rarely  appeared  in  his  intercourse  with  genend 
sodety,  or  indeed  in  any  of  his  published  writings. 

The  attractions  of  home  were  dear  to  him.  Within  its  precincts 
centred  his  supreme  happiness.  It  was  to  him  all  that  the  poets 
have  made  it : 

"  The  abode 
Of  loTSb  of  Joy,  of  peace  and  comfort,  where, 
Sopporting  and  supported,  poUsh'd  friends 
And  dear  relations  mingle  into  bliss.**

Laws  in  1881* 

Mr.  Bell  was  a  member  of  many  Historical  Associations.  The 
New  Hampshire  Historical  Society  was  nearest  his  heart,  and  to  it 
he  devoted  his  best  thought  and  unwearied  labor.  He  became  a 
member  in  1853,  thus  giving  to  it  the  active  service  of  forty  years. 
He  was  president  of  the  Society  nineteen  years,  from  June,  1868, 
till  his  resignation  in  1887.  Not  only  did  he  enrich  it  by  the  large 
gift  of  selected  volumes,  to  which  we  have  already  referred,  but  he 
attracted  gifts  to  it  from  many  sources  by  his  discreet  and  wise 
suggestions,  and  by  the  confidence  in  its  purpose  and  administration 
which  he  everywhere  inspired.  He  was  a  vice-president  of  the 
Prince  Society,  and  was  a  member  of  its  Council  twenty-one  years. 
He  edited  one  of  its  publications,  and  was  always  an  active  and  in- 
fluential member  of  its  Council.  To  the  New-England  Historic 
Grenealogical  Society,  of  which  he  was  a  member  twenty-three  years, 
he  contributed  from  time  to  time  valuable  historical  papers.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society,  also  of  the  Royal 
Historical  Society  of  Great  Britain,  and  a  corresponding  member 
of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  and  of  many  others. 

Mr.  Bell  married,  on  the  6th  of  May,  1847,  Sa^rah  Almira  Gil- 
man,  daughter  of  Nicholas  Gilman  of  Exeter.  She  died  August 
22,  1850,  leaving  two  daughters;  Helen,  the  wife  of  Professor 
Harold  North  Fowler,  Ph.D.,  of  the  Western  Reserve  University, 
Cleveland,  Ohio ;  andPersis,  the  wife  of  HoUis  Russell  Bailey,  Esq., 
of  the  Boston  bar.  He  married  2d,  June  3,  1867,  Mary  Elizabeth 
Gilman,  daughter  of  Harrison  Gray  of  Boston  and  widow  of  Joseph 
Taylor  Gilman  of  Exeter.  She  survives  him,  as  do  likewise  three 
step-children,  Daniel,  Col.  Edward  Harrison,  and  Mary  Long  Gil- 
man, all  residing  in  Exeter. 


24  The  Grasshopper  in  Btmton.  [Jan. 


THE  GRASSHOPPER  IN  BOSTON. 

By  Daniel  W.  Baxbk,  Esq.,  of  Bobton,  Ma.<(8. 

Under  the  head  of  book  notices  in  this  number  of  the  Registeb 
some  reference  is  made  to  a  banking  institution  in  London,  of  an- 
cient origin  and  known  by  title,  even  to  this  day,  as  "The  Sign  of 
the  Grasshopper,"  or  more  briefly,  "  The  Grasshopper."  An  allusion 
is  there  made  to  another  and  doubtless  more  familiar  figure  of  a  grass- 
hopper in  London,  the  weather-vane  of  the  Royal  Exchange  Building. 
These  two  have  a  common  origin  in  the  armorial  crest  of  the  Gresh- 
am  family.  Our  own  city  of  Boston  has  likewise  had  two  grasshop- 
pers of  fame.  One  yet  remains,  that  in  use  as  a  weather-vane  on 
the  cupola  of  FaneuU  Hall.  The  other  was  a  vane  upon  the  sum- 
mer house  of  Peter  Faneuil's  garden.  His  estate  fronted  on  Tre- 
mont  street,  opposite  to  the  King's  Chapel  burial  ground,  and  sloped 
upward  nearly  to  the  present  Somerset  street,  much  more  steeply 
tfan  the  exiing  land  Surface  would  indicate.  The  eummer  hoL^ 
was  at  the  height  of  the  land.  It  stood,  with  the  vane  above  its 
roof,  till  somewhat  later  than  1830.  All  who  have  inquired  into  the 
matter  have  agreed  that  these  two  vanes  were  imitations  of  that  on  the 
London  Exchange.  Which  of  the  two  was  earlier  there  seems  to 
be  no  means  of  determining,  so  that,  genealogically  speaking, 
whether  the  London  grasshopper  is  the  father  or  grandfather  of  that 
we  now  have  is  unknown.  As  to  the  Faneuil  Hall  grasshopper 
there  is  a  clear  historical  record.  Peter  Faneuil  bestowed  the  hall 
upon  the  town  of  Boston  in  1742.  It  was  finished  in  September  of 
that  year.  There  is  an  authentic  record  that  the  vane  was  completed 
May  25,  1742,  and  the  other  record  being  equally  authentic,  it  is 
certain  that  the  vane  was  put  into  place  during  that  summer.  It  is 
made  of  sheet  copper,  hollow  within  and  gilded  on  the  outside.  Its 
length,  including  the  projecting  horns  or  antenncBy  is  four  feet  and 
one  inch,  and  its  depth,  where  the  rod  or  staff  on  which  it  turns 
passes  through,  is  nine  inches.  Five  years  ago  there  was  occasion 
for  repairing  and  regilding  it,  and  at  that  time  was  found  within  it  a 
paper,  bearing  a  quaintly  written  inscription,  giving  with  other  facts 
the  date  of  May  25  as  above.  Peter  Faneuil  lived  several  months 
after  the  completion  of  the  building,  so  that  it  is  quite  certain  that 
the  grasshopper  was  made  and  put  up  with  his  cognizance  and  ap- 
proval, as  well  as  at  his  cost. 

Mention  has  not  been  made,  in  the  various  popular  accounts  of 
the  gift  of  this  hall,  of  a  circumstance  of  peculiar  interest.  That 
Faneuil's  project  might  take  effect  there  had  to  be  concurrence  and 
consent  on  the  part  of  the  town.  The  first  practical  step  in  the  af- 
fair had,  therefore,  to  be  the  drawing  up  of  a  town-meeting  warrant,

by  the  selectmen^  calling  the  citizens  together.     The  selectmen  did 
eOy  and  dated  their  documenty  propitiously,  July  4,  1740.* 

What  meaning  had  the  grasshopper,  as  a  emblem,  to  Peter 
Faneuil?  Succeeding  generations  have  known  the  hall  as  the  Cra^ 
die  of  Liberty.  But  Faneuil's  act  antedates  American  Inde- 
pendence, and  his  weather-yane  can  signify  nothing  of  that.  Of 
what,  then,  is  it  emblematical  ?  The  purpose  of  this  article  is  to 
supply  some  data  for  a  more  specific  answer  to  this  question  than 
appears  now  to  be  available  in  print. 

The  father  of  Peter  Faneuil  was  Benjamin,  who,  with  two  brothers, 
Andrew  and  John,  came  to  this  country  soon  after  the  time  of  the 
flight  of  the  Huguenots  from  France.  It  is  not  known  whether 
they  came  in  the  same  ship.  Andrew,  at  any  rate,  made  his  abid- 
ing place  for  some  time  in  Holland,  where,  in  the  city  of  Amsterdam, 
he  was  married.  It  is  recorded  of  others  of  the  Huguenots  who 
escaped  from  France  by  the  way  of  the  Low  Countries,  and  who 
came  hither,  that  they  passed  through  London,  and  it  is  likely  that 
Andrew  Faneuil  did  so.  The  three  brothers  were  in  Boston  in 
1691,  when  they  were  admitted  as  freemen  in  the  colony.  Ben- 
jamin Faneuil  soon  removed  to  the  Huguenot  settlement  of  New 
Bochelle,  N.Y.,  and  there  his  son  Peter  was  bom  June  20,  1700. 
The  father  died  in  1718,  and  a  few  years  later  Peter  is  found  in 
Boston  in  mercantile  employment  with  his  uncle,  Andrew. 

The  latter  carried  on  a  large  export  and  import  trade  with  West 
Indian  and  European  ports,  and  at  his  decease,  in  1737,  was  the 
richest  merchant  in  Boston.  Peter  succeeded  to  the  business  and 
conducted  it,  apparently,  on  same  scale,  reaping  in  like  manner 
large  profits.  IIis  coffers  were  fiirther  swollen  in  his  being  made 
his  uncle's  residuary  legatee.  This  residue  was^bequeathed  in  these 
words: 

^AIl  the  rest  of  my  estate,  both  real  and  personal,  whatsoever  and 
wheresoever  'tis,  in  New  England,  Great  Britain,  France,  Holland  or  any 
other  part  of  the  world." 

A  very  considerable  part  of  such  of  this  estate  as  was  in  Great 
Britain  was  ^in  public  ftmds,  such  as  the  bank  of  England."  Dur- 
ring  his  career  of  forty-six  years  as  a  Boston  merchant  Andrew 
Faneuil  visited  London  at  least  once,  in  1715.  It  is  not  known  that 
Peter  Faneuil  was  ever  in  that  city.  This  commerce,  spread  out  over 
almost  half  the  world,  must  have  pivoted  on  London  as  its  financial 
centre.  That  city,  then  seat  of  empire  aa  well  as  mart  of  exchange 
for  all  the  British  Colonies,  must  have  been  the  subject  of  daily 
thought  and  familiar  conversation  on  the  part  of  both  the  Faneuils. 
To  them,  doubtless,  its  commerce  eclipsed  its  politics,  and  thus  in 
their  mental  vision  it  may  have  been  beheld  as  an  aggregation  of 
the  shipping  and  merchandise   of  all  seas  and  all  lands,  the  recep-

tac'e  of  the  coined  money  of  all  realms,  with  the  Royal  Exchange 
for  its  centre,  and  the  golden  grasshopper  presiding  over  the  ever 
busy  scene. 

The  Faneuil  estate  on  Tremont  street  has  been  mentioned  by 
several  writers  of  local  history.  More  particulars  are  given  by 
Miss  Eliza  S.  M.  Quincy  than  by  any  other.  She  describes  the 
mansion  as  of  brick,  painted  white.  In  the  rear  of  it  was  a  paved 
court.  Thence  above,  to  the  highest  level,  the  hillside  was  terraced. 
The  terraces  were  supported  by  massy  walls  of  hewn  granite  and 
were  ascended  by  flis^hts  of  stone  steps.  The  summer-house  in  the 
upper  garden  commlnded  a  view  inferior  only  to  that  of  Beacon 
Hill.  On  the  summer  house  glittered  a  vane,  similar  to  that  on 
Faneuil  Hall.*  The  registry  shows  that  the  deed  by  which  the  land 
was  granted  to  Andrew  Faneuil,  in  1710,  conveyed  abo  a  stone  house. 
As  he  built  the  spacious  brick  mansion  it  is  easy  to  suppose  that  the 
surplusage  of  stone  on  the  premises  went  to  make  the  terrace  walls 
and  steps.  That  he  built  a  summer-house  and  put  on  it  a  grasshop- 
per vane,  or  that  the  succeeding  owner,  Peter  Faneuil,  did  so,  every- 
body has  omitted  to  state.  That  the  hillside  was  made  by  Andrew 
Faneuil  to  be  a  sumptuous  garden  is  declared  by  Mr.  L.  M.  Sargent, 
who  wrote  extensively  on  the  Faneuil  family,  having  had  access  to 
various  private  records  and  papers.f  He  says  that  Andrew  Faneuil 
erected  there  the  first  hot-house  built  in  New  En^and.  He  calls 
the  estate  "Faneuil's  seven-acre  Eden."  Under  the  circumstances 
there  seems  to  be  almost  a  warrant  to  infer  a  summer  house.  Mr. 
Sargent  must  have  got  his  ^  seven-acre  "  dimension  in  some  familiar 
talk  with  Faneuil's  descendants ;  for  Mr.  Bowditch,  the  "Gleaner^, 
describes  in  his  writings  the  whole  eastern  slope  of  the  hill,  with  the 
characteristic  fidelity  of  a  conveyancer,  and  does  not  find  so  much 
as  an  acre  of  land  for  either  Andrew  or  Peter  Faneuil.  His  dimen- 
sions in  each  case  are,  140  feet,  front ;  120  feet,  rear ;  321  feet, 
south  side;  328  feet,  north  side.  He  states  also  that  the  south 
boundary  line  began  at  a  point  76  feet  distant  from  Beacon  street.  | 
Making  a  little  allowance  for  a  probable  widening  of  Beacon  street, 
which  in  the  early  deeds  was  caUed  ''the  lane  leading  to  the  Alms- 
house," this  starting  point  seems  to  be  indicated,  at  present,  as  the 
point  where  the  great  dry-goods  store  now  on  the  corner  ceases  to 
have  a  stone  front  and  takes  on  a  brick  front.  Granting  that  Tre- 
mont street  has  not  been  widened  here,  and  being  guided  by  the 
party-line  between  the  owners  of  the  stone  part  and  those  of  the 
orick  part  of  the  dry-goods  store,  one  may  say  that  the  Faneuil  es- 
tate must  have  included  the  Suffolk  Savings  Bank  premises  of  to-day 
and  the  store  premises  next  north  of  it,  and  must  have  so  extendi 
westward  that  the  southwest  comer  of  it  projected  slightly  into  what 
is  now  Somerset  street,  and  the  northwest  comer  into  the  roadway

1895.]  The  €frasshapper  in  Bo9Um.  27 

Taimmg  fit>m  Pemberton  square  proper  into  Somerset  street.  The 
summer  house,  if  centraUy  placed,  was  within  the  area  now  occupied 
bj  the  northerly  part  of  the  Congregational  Building. 

Mr.  Sargent  uses  the  word  ^summer-house,"  and  sajs  that  he 
remembers  the  building  and  the  rane  upon  it.  The  woid  was  un- 
doubtedlj  the  family  name,  the  household  word,  for  the  structure. 
The  more  precise  statement  of  a  late  writer  of  the  best  authority  is 
that  it  was  a  brick  tower,  three  stories  high,  with  a  balcony  for  out- 
look at  the  topmost  story,  and  he  says  also  that  above  the  roof  was 
a  grasshopper  yane.  He  adds  that  the  tower  was  built  by  Lieut.  Got. 
William  fliillips,  who  owned  the  place  from  1791  to  about  1834. 
There  is  rtill  room  for  conjecture  that  Mr.  Phillips  found  the  grass- 
hopper upon  an  antecedent  summer-house,  of  humbler  proportions, 
and  that  wishing  to  climb  higher  and  behold  the  whole  horizon  (ex- 
cepting what  the  new  State  House  might  cut  off) ,  built  the  tower  and 
restored  the  grasshopper  of  that  former  summer-house.  If,  as  in 
case  of  the  Faneuil  Hall  insect,  "Shem  Drovme  made  itt,''  slight  re- 
pairs beyond  regilding  would  have  been  necessary.  In  the  position 
indicated  the  out-look  of  the  tower  would  have  been  at  a  height 
corresponding  nearly  to  the  sky  line  of  the  new  Court  House  as 
seen  from  Pemberton  square. 

As  a  figure  in  the  Gresham  armorial  bearings,  the  grasshopper  is 
not  strictly  an  emblem.  It  is  called  a  canting  crest,  that  is  one 
having  an  allusion,  one  suggestive,  in  a  remote  or  fanciful  way. 
Experts  in  En^and  have  disagreed  in  discussing  this  particular 
SS     OneSloftheEo;Sl£changegrassL^^^ 

'^This  gilded  emblem  is  nothing  more  than  a  rebas  of  the  name  of  the 
founder,  Sir  Thomas  Gresham ;  in  Grennan  Grcut-heim — in  its  diminutive — 
means  grasshopper." 

This  allusion  might  seem  direct  enough  if  the  definition  were  good ; 
but  in  the  diminutive  form,  which  is  grasheimchen^  it  means 
field-cricket,  a  different  insect.  Another,  having  premised  that 
"crests  of  this  order  have  a  sort  of  punning  reference  to  the  name,** 
makes  his  interpretation  throu^  the  Anglo  Saxon  words,  groM  and 
Aom,  which,  in  modem  form,  are  grass  and  home.  Thus,  the  allu- 
sion is  to  that  which  has  its  home  or  dwelling-place  in  the  grass ;  or, 
conversely,  the  figure  of  the  dweller  suggests  the  home. 

The  Gresham  arms,  as  stated  in  the  connection  already  referred 
to,  were  originally  granted  to  Sir  Richard  Gresham,  and  were  in- 
herited by  his  son,  Sir  Thomas.  The  career  of  the  latter  repeated 
in  some  respects  that  of  his  father,  but  on  a  much  grander  scale. 
Sir  Thomas  was  also  a  Mercer,  and,  the  golden  sign  on  Lombard 
street  being  witness,  a  goldsmith  and  banker.  He  did  great  deeds 
in  the  Low  Countries,  both  commensal  and  financial.  He  was 
distinctly  a  royal  agent  there,  a  service  nearly  equivalent  to  that  of 
ambassador.  He  served  Henry  there,  as  also  had  his  father,  and  he 
served  also  Edward,  Mary  and  ^izabeth.     He  gained  great  fav(Mr

from  three  of  them,  but  was  somehow  ill-treated  by  Mary.  At  the 
age  of  62  he  wrote  to  Elizabeth,  hinting  at  a  recall,  and  saying  ^I 
doo  waxe  olde."  He  might  have  said,  though  it  would  have  been 
unbefitting  in  that  connection,  **Ido  wax  rich."  Prosperity  had 
attended  him  and  vast  wealth  was  in  his  hands.  Soon  after  his 
return  to  London,  in  1564,  he  built  his  spacious  mansion  in  Bishops- 
gate  street.  Two  years  later,  the  city  having  taken  a  tract  by 
eminent  domain  for  the  piurpose,  he  erected  at  his  own  cost,  and 
gave  to  the  city,  the  original  London  Exchange,  a  building  of 
great  dignity  and  renown.  It  must  have  been  with  the  sanction, 
and  perhaps  at  the  prompting  of  the  city  authorities — and  the  act 
had  virtually  the  sanction  of  the  Queen — but  upon  the  central  tower, 
and  at  each  of  the  four  comers  of  the  building,  was  swung,  as  a 
weather-vane,  the  gilded  figure  of  a  grasshopper.  On  the  day  of 
the  formal  opening  Queen  Elizabeth  and  suite  dined  with  Sir  Tho- 
mas at  Bishopsgate  street,  thereafter  going  to  the  new  building, 
entering  it  in  state,  and  causing  it  to  be  proclaimed  by  herald  and 
trumpet,  the  Royal  Exchange,  **  and  so  to  be  called  ftt>m  thence- 
forth, and  not  otherwise."  That  building  was  destroyed  in  the 
great  London  fire,  but  another  was  placed  on  its  site  of  greater 
magnitude  and  height,  and  at  this  day  a  grasshopper  vane  of  gilded 
copper,  eleven  feet  in  length,  is  displayed  at  the  top  of  its  lofty 
tower. 

Sir  Thomas  Gresham's  chief  title  to  fame  has  been  defined  by  a 
competent  London  writer,  Walter  Besant,  who  says  : 

*'WheD  QueeD  Elizabeth  ascended  the  throne  the  commerical  centre  of  the 
world  was  Antwerp:  when  she  died  it  was  London.  This  transfer  had 
been  effected  by  the  wisdom  and  foresight  of  one  man,  taking  advantage 
of  the  times  and  their  changes — Sir  Thomas  Gresham.  The  religious  wars 
of  the  Netherlands  brought  immense  losses  to  Antwerp.  Gresham  desired 
to  make  these  losses  London's  gains.  He  built  the  Royal  Exchange.  The 
possession  of  the  Exchange  was  followed  immediately  by  such  a  develop- 
ment of  enterprise  as  had  been  unknown  before  in  the  history  of  the  city. 
Next  he  peisuaded  the  citizens  to  take  up  the  Queen*s  loans  themselves, 
So  that  the  interest  should  remain  in  the  country.  Before  the  reign  of 
Elizabeth  it  was  next  to  impossible  for  the  city  to  raise  a  loan  of  £10,- 
000.  Before  she  died  the  city  was  advancing  to  the  Queen  loans  of  £60,- 
000." 

Besides  what  has  already  been  hinted  as  to  a  probable  explanation 
of  Faneuil's  fondness  for  the  grasshopper  it  may  be  assumed  that  he 
knew  something  of  Sir  Thomas  Gresham  and  of  the  beginnings  of 
London^s  great  commerical  prosperity,  and  it  may  even  be  that  he 
had  Gresham's  example  in  mind  when  he  erected  and  gave  to  his 
townsmen  a  great  public  building  in  the  busy  centre  of  traffic.  Li 
any  view,  it  seems  safe  to  say  that  the  golden  grasshopper,  poised 
aloft  in  the  metropolis  of  New  England,  symbolized  to  him  what 
its  foregoer  in  the  metropolis  of  Old  England  did  and  does,  the  com- 
mercial enterprise  and  opulence  of  its  citizens.

SOME  DEEDS  OF  THE  MATHER  FAMILY  OF  WEST 
LEIGH,  LANCASHIRE,  1609  to  1632. 

Bj  J.  Paui.  Rtijlkim,  Esq.,  F.S JL.,  of  Birkenhead,  England. 

By  the  kindness  of  Mr.  J.  P.  Earwaker,  M.A.,  F.S.A.,  I  have 
had  an  opportunity  of  examining  a  bundle  of  fifteen  old  documents 
relating  to  the  Mathers  of  West  Leigh,  which  belong  to  Mr.  W. 
Ecroyd,  of  Lomeshaye,  Nelson,  Lancashire ;  and  I  have  made  the 
following  abstracts  of  them.  The  seals  appended  to  the  deeds  are 
of  very  little  interest,  being  (with  the  exception  of  that  to  the 
bond  of  3  February,  1617,  which  displays  the  arms  of  the  Lan- 
cashire family  of  Byrom  of  Byrom  HaJl,  differenced  by  a  crescent) 
merely  fanciftil  figures  of  birds  and  quadrupeds. 

The  signatures  of  Geoffirey  jVIather,  Symond  Mather,  and  Geoffrey 
Mather  junior,  are  in  the  style  of  handwriting  used  by  fairly  educa- 
ted persons  in  the  seventeenth  century;  those  of  Sorocolds, 
Alexander  Radcliffe  and  William  Crompton  suggest  a  higher  stand- 
ard of  education.  The  tracings  of  the  Mather  signatures,  which  I 
send,*  may  be  of  service  hereafter  for  purposes  of  identification 
when  more  is  known  of  the  early  history  of  the  family. 

Symond  Mather,  of  West  Leigh,  yeoman,  whose  will  is  printed 
in  die  Register  under  date  1588,  was  the  father  of  Geoffrey 
Mather  the  elder  and  Robert  Mather  of  Newstead,  co.  Notts.,  who 
are  named  in  the  deeds.  Robert  returned  to  West  Leigh  and  died 
in  1617  ;  his  will  is  also  printed  in  the  Register. 

Geoffrey  Mather,  the  elder,  married  at  Leigh  Church,  12  Decem- 
ber, 1591,  Anne  Parr,  and  their  children,  Symond  (who  was  buried 
at  Leigh  28  September,  1617),  Geoffrey,  Ellen,  Robert,  John  and 
James,  are  all  named  in  the  deeds,  they  were  baptized  at  Leigh 
Church,  and  the  records  of  these  baptisms  will  be  found  in  ^  The 
Registers  of  the  Parish  of  Leigh,  Lancashire,  1558-1625,  edited 
by  J.  H.  Stanning,  M.A.,  Vicar,  1882,**  together  with  the  mar- 
riages of  Margaret  Partington,  Jane  Liptrott,  and  Ann  Monne  or 
Man,  the  sisters  of  Geoffrey  Mather  the  elder.  The  marriage  of 
another  sister  to  James  Haughton  of  Arbury  in  Winwick  parish  is 
not  recorded  in  the  Leigh  registers. 

The  property  owned  by  Geoffrey  Mather  passed  at  last  to  the 
Sorocold  family.  One  of  the  Sorocolds  is  mentioned  in  Roger 
Lowe's  Diary :— **  March  1672-3.  7  friday  night  died  Capt.  [John] 
Sorrowcold  an  old  cannibell  that  hath  orethrowne  many  families  but 
he  hath  now  arrived  at  his  one  [own]  place,  abundance  of  gold  and 
silver  is  found  under  his  handes."     (^  Local  Gleanings  relating  to

where  some  notices  of  the  Sorocolds  will  be  found.)  There  is  an 
interesting  remnant  of  the  feudal  system  in  the  lease  of  7  July, 
1632. 

I  have  added  some  genealogical  memoranda  of  Gilbert  Mather 
of  the  Soak  in  Hampshire,  who  was  bom  in  Lancashire  in  1522, 
which  were  communicated  to  ^^  Notes  and  Queries  " ;  and  an  abstract 
of  a  Wrifc  dated  1417,  from  the  Risley  Charters,  which  mentions 
Mathew  and  Richard  Mather  of  Culcheth  in  Winwick  parish,  the 
name  being  written  "le  Madour." 

I  have  not  met  with  any  armorial  seal  of  the  Mathers  bearing  the 
arms  attributed  to  them ;  but  in  1706  Abraham  Mather  and  Richard 
Mather  witnessed  a  deed  to  which  the  parties  were  Richard  Clough 
of  Kenjon,  in  the  parish  of  Winwick,  Chapman,  of  the  one  part, 
and  Thomas,  Viscount  Fauconberg  of  the  other  part,  and  Clough 
used  an  oval  seal  bearing  the  letters  A.  M.  above  a  heater  shaped 
shield  displaying  a  chevron  between  three  pairs  of  compaesee^ 
which  was  evidently  Abraham  Mather's  seal.  The  arms  of  the 
Carpenters'  Company  of  London,  granted  6  Edw.  VI.,  A.D.  1552, 
were  Argent^  a  chevron  engrailed  between  three  pairs  of  comr 
passes  Sablcj  and  it  is  probable  that  this  coat  is  intended  to  be 
represented  on  Abraham  Mather's  seal.

THE  AECmVES  OF  HABVAKD  UNIVEBSITY. 

By  William  Oabrott  Bbowit,  of  Cambridge,  Mam. 

Oh  the  fifth  floor  of  Gt»re  Hall,  at  the  east  end,  are  four  iron 
oases  that  ure  rarelj  opened  even  for  those  permitted  to  pass  the 
fl^  **  Not  open  to  Visitors"  on  the  doors  of  ^wii^  of  the  Library 
commonly  imown  as  the  ^  stack."  Within  these  cases  are  shelves 
heavily  laden  with  bound  volumes  and  bundled  papers,  most  of 
which  are  yellow  and  time  worn.  The  signs  of  age  are  not  decep- 
tive, for  the  Archives  of  Harvard  College  include  some  of  the  old- 
e8t*-and  crabbedest — manuscripts  to  be  found  anywhere  in  America. 
The  gradual  accumulation  of  two  centuries  and  a  half  of  collegiate 
history,  these  records  must  possess  a  peculiar  intereflt  not  merely 
£>r  antiquaries  but  for  educated  Americans  and  students  of  Ameri- 
'Oan  history  in  general. 

Practically  iJl  of  the  Archives  proper,  which  are  not  to  be  con- 
firanded  with  the  much  larger  collection  of  matter,  chiefly  printed, 
relating  to  the  University  and  faiown  as  the  ^  H.  U.  Collection^" 
are  in  manuscripti  Yot  this  reason,  as  well  as  from  the  more  or 
less  confidential  nature  of  some  of  the  information  they  contain, 
access  to  them  cannot  be  freely  given.  Indeed,  it  is  in  his  capacity 
of  Archivist,  and  not  as  Librarian,  that  the  head  of  the  Library  cares 
for  them.  Nevertheless,  it  is  in  accordance  with  the  entire  policy 
of  the  University  that  those  who  are  legitimately  interested  in  the 
records  should  Imow  what  they  are  and  what  information  they  con- 
tain. Some  account  of  them  may  be  found  in  the  appendix  to  the 
first  volume  of  Quincy's  History  of  Harvard  University;  in  Sib- 
ley's Harvard  GhraducUes^  and  his  contributions  to  the  Proceedings 
of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society ;  in  various  papers  by  ]^. 
Andrew  MoF.  Davis,  particularly  No.  37  of  the  Bibliographical 
Contributions  of  the  Harvard  Library ;  and  elsewhere.  They  have 
been  intelligently  used  by  these  and  other  students  of  the  early 
histc^  of  the  College,  and  Quincy  gives  copious  extracts  from  the 
more  important  volumes.  But  no  comprehensive  account  of  them 
has  been  written,  and  in  fact  no  shelf  list  of  the  collection  was  ever 
made  until  189S,  when  they  were  removed  firom  the  ground  floor  of 
the  Library,  where  they  had  been  left  for  years  in  much  confusion, 
and  arranged  in  the  iron  cases  which  now  contain  them. 

Here  they  are  roughly  classified  in  three  groups,  according  as 
Aey  relate  chiefly  to  the  affairs  of  the  Corporation,  the  Overseers, 
or  the  immediate  government  of  the  University  and  its  various 
d^Murtments.     To  some  of  the  matter,  however,  even  this  rou^ 


36  The  Archives  of  Harvard  University.  [Jan. 

classification  will  not  apply.  In  the  earlier  books  of  record,  in 
fact,  entries  may  be  found  side  by  side  relating  to  each  or  all  of 
these  bodies ;  and  there  are  some  papers,  of  a  more  or  less  personal 
character,  not  clearly  relating  to  either. 

The  ** College  Books"  stand  at  the  head  of  the  Corporation 
papers.  They  are  the  manuscript  records  of  the  President  and 
Fellows  from  the  Charter  of  1650  down  to  the  present  time,  includ- 
ing, in  the  earlier  volumes,  various  miscellaneous  entries  concerning 
the  other  departments  of  the  College  system  both  before  and  after 
the  creation  of  the  Corporation.  Quincy  believed — and  has  so 
stated  in  his  History — ^that  College  Book  No.  I.  was  in  reality  Nos. 
I.  and  U.  together,  and  when  the  volume  was  re-bound  in  his  day 
it  was  so  denominated  on  the  cover.  But  an  index  compiled  by 
President  Wadsworth  contains  various  references  to  No.  11.,  none  of 
which  apply  to  any  volume  now  in  the  Archives ;  it  seems  certain, 
therefore,  that  No.  II.  has  been  lost.  The  pagination  of  No.  I.  is 
confused,  and  its  miscellaneous  and  unsystematic  entries  show  that 
it  was  used  as  a  memorandum  book  of  college  affairs  in  general  rather 
than  as  a  record  of  any  particular  governing  body.  The  entries  in 
No.  lU.,  which  is  in  part  a  transcript  of  No.  I.,  have  also  this  miscel- 
laneous character.  The  later  volumes,  however,  except  one,  which 
is  devoted  to  the  Hollis  benefactions,  are  in  the  main  regular  records 
of  Corporation  meetings  and  votes.  The  eleven  volumes  covering 
the  period  from  the  beginning  down  to  1847  are  in  the  Archives ; 
the  others  are  still  in  die  Treasurer's  office  in  Boston.  Probably 
no  other  non-political  corporate  body  in  America  could  exhibit 
written  records  extending  over  so  many  years.  For  this  reason, 
and  because  of  the  intrinsic  importance  of  the  matter  itself,  it  is 
rather  surprising  that  none  of  these  books  has  been  printed.  Of 
Nos.  I.  and  II.  careful  transcripts  have  been  made  by  Mr.  Davis, 
which  are  being  indexed,  and  there  are  rough  indices  of  the  later 
volumes  also. 

Closely  supplementing  the  College  Books  are  three  other  bound 
series — ^the  Treasurers'  Books,  the  Stewards'  Account  Books,  and 
the  Harvard  College  Papers.  Of  the  Treasurers'  Books,  properly 
so-called,  there  are  but  two  in  the  Archives,  covering  the  period 
1669-1713.  Both  of  these  were  found  among  John  Hancock's 
effects  long  after  his  death,  one  (the  oldest)  having  lain  for  years 
in  his  carriage-house ;  it  was  in  so  ruinous  a  state  when  discovered 
that  it  could  not  be  restored,  and  much  of  it  is  either  lost  or  entirely 
illegible.  The  Stewards'  Books,  though  much  more  numerous,  do 
not  form  a  perfect  series.  The  first  volume  begins  with  1650,  and 
the  material  they  contain  for  the  new  school  of  economic  history 
has  been  pronounced  **  priceless  "  by  one  who  is  perhaps  the  lead- 
ing exponent  in  America  of  that  department  of  inquiry.  I  am 
inclined  to  think  that  Mr.  Weeden,  for  example,  might  have 
enriched  his  volumes  on  the  economic  history  of  New  England  by 


1895.]  The  Archives  of  Harvard  Uhtverfity.  37 

data  obtained  firom  this  source ;  and  anj  American  who  undertakes 
a  work  similar  to  Thorold  Rogers's  study  of  the  history  of  prices  in 
England  should  find  here  valuable  information  and  material. 

The  Harvard  CoUege  Papers,  bound  in  two  series,  the  first  of 
eleven  volumes,  folio,  the  second  of  thirty  volumes,  quarto,  occupy 
only  a  little  less  than  one-fourth  of  all  the  space  in  the  iron  cases, 
and  cover  the  whole  period  of  the  CoUege's  history.  Until  two 
years  ago  quite  a  number  of  papers  which  belong  to  this  series  were 
loose  and  disarranged.  Out  of  these,  four  supplementary  volumes 
have  been  made,  and  the  loose  papers  still  remaining  have  been 
arranged  in  bundles,  each  bundle  being  placed  beside  the  bound 
volume  which  it  supplements — a  plan  that  has  been  adopted  with 
unbound  documents  in  the  other  departments  of  the  Archives  also. 
No  general  description  will  apply  to  the  ^H.  C.  Papers."  Most 
of  them  relate  to  the  financial  affairs  of  the  corporation  ;  but  many, 
especially  in  the  earlier  volumes,  are  of  much  wider  interest.  Of 
those  bearing  dates  earlier  than  1805  a  calendar  with  notes,  ex- 
planatory and  historical,  has  been  made  and  carefully  indexed,  so 
that  the  information  they  contain  can  be  readily  reached.  A  col- 
lector of  autographs  would  find  the  series  of  interest  as  exhibiting 
the  handwritings  of  various  colonial  worthies  from  the  Mathers  to 
Washington  and  Hancock. 

Three  other  series — the  Letters  to  the  Treasurer  (1829-1868), 
in  fourteen  volumes,  the  College  Letter  Books,  being  the  letter 
books  of  the  various  Presidents  from  1846  to  1868,  in  six  volumes, 
and  the  Letters  to  the  President  (1846-1867),  unbound,  in  twelve 
large  bundles — are  placed  among  the  Corporation  papers,  though 
many,  perhaps  most,  of  the  letters  in  the  second  and  third  series 
relate  to  the  immediate  government.  There  are  also  several  shelves 
full  of  misceUaneous  volumes  and  papers  relating  to  corporation 
affairs.  The  most  notable  of  these,  perhaps,  are  the  Donation 
Books,  in  two  volumes,  the  three  volumes  of  Hollis  letters  and 
papers,  and  those  pertaining  to  other  early  benefactors.  Here  are 
books  made  up  of  papers  concerning  the  Charlestown  Ferry,  the 
receipts  from  which  were  among  the  first  sources  of  revenue  to  the 
infant  college ;  concerning  the  foundation  of  early  professorships ; 
concerning  the  lands  and  other  properties  of  the  Corporation  in 
colonial  times.  In  fact,  here  is  all  the  necessary  material,  taken 
together  with  the  several  series  of  records  I  have  mentioned,  for  the 
most  voluminous  history  of  the  President  and  Fellows  of  Harvard 
CoUege.  Perhaps  the  abundance  of  this  material  is  the  circum- 
stance that  has  led  Quincy  and  Peirce  in  their  books  to  dwell  at  so 
great  length  on  the  business  side  of  the  University's  career. 

The  matter  relating  to  the  Overseers  is  much  less  voluminous^ 
though  the  development  of  the  system  of  reports  to  that  body  has 
caused  a  rapid  increase  in  recent  years.  As  I  have  mentioned,  the 
earliest  records  of  the  Overseers  are  to  be  found  in  the  first  and  third  of

the  Overseers  begins  with  the  year  1707,  and  the  eleven  volumes  in 
the  Archives  cover  the  period  1707-1882.  The  Reports  begin  in 
1761,  and  the  bound  volumes  number  thirty-seven.  Many  of  the 
later  reports  are  printed,  and  they  cover  a  wide  range  of  educa- 
tional topics.  The  printed  Presidents'  and  Treasurers*  Reports 
make  a  separate  series  for  which  at  present  there  is  not  room  enough 
in  the  iron  cases. 

The  records  and  papers  of  the  immediate  government  of  the 
University  would  probably  possess,  in  the  eyes  of  the  public,  more 
importance  than  those  of  either  the  Overseers  or  the  Corporation. 
Unfortunately,  we  have  no  Faculty  Records,  properly  so-called, 
for  the  period  before  1725,  though  certain  acts  of  the  President 
and  Tutors  are  given  in  the  earlier  College  Books.  There  are, 
moreover,  three  old  volumes — Tutor  Henry  Flynt's  Diary  (1707- 
1747),  President  Leverett's  Book  (1707-1723),  and  President 
Wadsworth's  Book  (1724-1736) — which  serve  as  a  sort  of  intro- 
duction to  the  Records  themselves.  Of  these  there  are  two  series. 
One,  made  up  of  original  books  of  entry,  covers  the  period  1772— 
1874,  and  is  in  thirty-four  volumes  of  various  sizes.  The  other,  of 
which  sixteen  volumes  have  been  placed  in  the  Archives,  covers  the 
period  1725-1865,  most  of  the  volumes,  perhaps  all,  being  trans- 
cripts. The  Reports  of  Faculty  doings  in  the  colonial  period  are 
less  full  than  might  be  desired;  but  much  valuable  and  curious 
information  is  contained  in  the  books  as  they  stand. 

Three  other  series  belong  to  the  papers  of  the  inunediate  govern- 
ment; the  Parietal  Records  (1828-1887),  in  twelve  volumes;  the 
Exhibition  and  Commencement  Parts  (1828-94),  of  which  there 
are  forty-three  volumes  and  enough  papers  still  unbound  to  make 
eight  or  ten  more;  and  the  Bowdoin  Prize  Dissertations  (1808— 
1894),  of  which  there  are  twenty-one  volumes  and  matter  enough 
still  unbound  to  make  half  a  dozen  more.  Nothing  in  the  Archives 
except  the  earliest  College  Books  surpasses  in  general  interest  these 
prize  papers.  The  number  of  dissertations  by  men  who  afterwards 
attained  eminence  is  remarkable.  To  the  first  volume  John  O. 
Palfrey  and  Jared  Sparks  were  contributors.  Later  papers  are  by 
George  Bancroft,  Emerson,  Benjamin  R.  Curtis  the  jurist,  Charles 
Sumner,  George  Ticknor  Curtis,  E.  R.  Hoar,  Richard  Henry  Dana, 
Edward  E.  Hale,  James  C.  Carter,  Phillips  Brooks,  and  others 
scarcely  less  well  known  in  later  life.  The  character  of  the  subjects 
discussed  by  these  men  in  their  student  days,  and  the  convictions 
then  expressed,  are  sometimes  in  consonance ^  sometimes  in  striking 
contrast  with  the  trend  of  their  various  careers  in  manhood.  In 
one  paper,  by  a  youth  who  became  renowned  as  an  orator,  I  find 
a  passage  which,  a  score  of  years  afterwards,  was  introduced  bodily 
into  a  famous  oration.  One  essayist,  who  became  an  important 
historical  writer,  discusses  with  ardor  the  career  of  a  devotee  of 


1895.]  Famay  of  William  Contwalt.  39 

natural  science ;  another  historian  of  still  greater  celebrity  devotes 
himself  to  a  demonstration  of  the  necessity  of  a  reyealed  religion 
with  such  an  earnestness  as  might  well  have  been  taken  to  indicate 
for  him  a  life  of  preaching ;  while  a  third,  whom  the  whole  country 
was  destined  to  acknowledge  as  a  preacher  of  foremost  rank,  if  not  as 
the  first  of  all  American  divines,  studies  with  interest  and  intelligent 
sympathy  the  methods  of  an  ancient  historian.  The  Commence- 
ment and  Exhibition  Parts  are  briefer,  and  as  a  rule  less  serious 
productions ;  but  they,  too,  might  have  furnished  material  for  certain 
biographies,  and  may  well  be  investigated  by  biograj^iers  who  are 
yet  to  write. 

Altogether,  the  Archives  are  worth  studying  by  workers  in  more 
than  one  field.  To  New  England  genealogists  and  antiquaries 
they  have  already  proved  invaluable.  It  is  much  to  be  desir^  that 
some  of  the  more  important  books  and  papers  should  be  printed, 
or  that  at  least  some  index  or  calendar  of  their  contents  should  be 
given  to  the  public. 


FAMILY  OF  WILLIAM  CORNWALL. 

Contribated  by  Edwakd  E.  CoBmrALX.,  M.D.,  BrooklTO,  N.  T. 

William  Cornwall  came  to  Massachiuetts  about  1634.    He  and  his 
first  wife,  Joao  ,    were  members,  in  1635,  of  Rev.  John  Eliot's 

chnrch  at  Roxbury.  In  1636  he  went  with  the  *' Great  Removal"  to 
ConnecUcut,  and  in  1637  was  one  of  the  thirty-seven  soldiers  from  Hartford 
in  the  expedition  against  the  Pequod  Indians.  In  1638  he  was  at  Saj- 
brook.  In  1639  he  was  back  in  Hartford  and  had  a  house  lot  of  eight 
acres  there,  ^  No.  54,  west  of  South  St.,  south  from  the  Lane  "  (near  the 
north  end  of  the  present  VtSage  St,).  In  the  earliest  record  of  his  land  at 
Hartford,  dated  Fehmary,  1639,  he  is  spoken  of  as  ''William  Com  well. 
Sergeant  at  Arms."  He  lived  in  Hartford  till  1651 ;  was  a  member  of  the 
church  there,  and  probably  all  his  children  by  his  second  wife,  Mary 
,  were  born  there ;  but  he  did  not  reside  all  of  that  period  in  the 
vfllage,  for  a  document  dated  1648  speaks  of  him  as  "  at  present  resident  in 
Hocanum,  in  the  bounds  of  Hartford."  In  1651  he  removed  with  the  first 
settlers  to  Middletown.  His  house  lot  there  was  ^  neare  ye  landing  place 
by  ye  springe"  (present  corner  of  Afain  and  WaMngton  Streets).  His 
lands  at  Middletown  on  both  sides  of  the  Connecticut  River  were  first  re- 
corded February  30,  1657, — total  amount  903  acres.  He  was  repre- 
sentative from  Middletown  in  1654,  '57,  '64  and  '65.  In  1664  he  was 
constable  at  Middletown.  In  1666  he  received  a  grant  of  land  in  East 
Hartford  for  his  services  in  the  Pequod  war — (knowledge  of  this  fact  has 
been  traditionary  in  the  £unily).     His  town  privileges^  right  of  common, 


40  JPamily  of  William  Cornwall.  [Jan. 

etc,  in  Hartford,  he  held  by  the  ''courtbe  of  the  town."  In  1667  the 
General  Court  at  Hartford  ''  freed  William  CornweH's  head  from  the  pay- 
ing of  rates."  July  10,  1668,  he  joined  the  recently  organized  church  at 
Middletown.  In  1670  he  was  assessed  at  Middletown  on  £160,  which  was 
one  of  the  largest  assessments  on  the  list  of  fifty-two  householders.  April 
2,  1674,  he  made  his  will,  in  which  he  speaks  of  himself  as  *' being  well 
stricken  in  years  (though,  through  mercy,  in  as  perfect  use  of  my  under- 
standing as  ordinarily  men  are  of  my  years),  expecting  my  change  to  be 

yery  near "     He  divides  his  property  among  his  eight  children, 

John,  William,  Samuel,  Jacob,  Thomas,  Sarah,  Hester  Willcox  and  Eliza- 
beth Hall,  and  makes  careful  provision  for  his  *^  loving  wife,  Mary  Corn- 
wall," both  during  her  widowhood  and  in  the  possible  event  of  her  marrying 
again  and  being  in  need.  He  requests  his  '*  loving  brothers  and  friends 
Deac  Stocking  and  to  Deac  Hall"  to  oversee  and  execute  the  will,  to 
which  he  signs  his  name.  He  died  at  Middletown,  February  21,  1678. 
Estate  £231. 

From  what  part  of  England  William  Cornwall  came  is  not  known. 
There  are  some  reasons  for  supposing  it  to  be  Hertfordshire.  There  are 
also  reasons,  by  no  means  conclusive,  for  thinking  him  a  brother  of  Thomas 
Cornwall  who  came  to  Massachusetts  about  the  same  time,  was  with  him  in 
Hartford  in  1639,  and  afterwards  went  to  Long  Island  and  Rhode  Island. 

The  name  in  early  documents  is  variously  written  Cornwell,  Cornwall, 
Cornell,  Cornel,  Cornil,  Cornol,  Corniel  and  Comwayle.

HARVARD  UNIVERSITY. 

CoLLEOE  Presidents  and  the  Election  of  Messrs.  Quinct  and 

Eliot. 

By  the  Hon.  Wm.  A.  Richuldson  (H.  U.  1843),  LL.D.,  Chief-Justice  Coart  of  Claims. 

[The  following  article  from  ^  The  University  Magazine "  for 
December,  1891,  is  re-published  as  a  valuable  contribution  to 
history,  and  an  interesting  and  appropriate  tribute  to  President 
£liot  in  addition  to  the  exercises  at  Harvard  Commencement  last 
June  in  commemoration  of  his  successful  administration  of  the 
presidency  during  more  than  twenty-five  years.] 

When  I  contemplate  the  vast  changes  that  have  taken  place  in  all 
branches  of  the  University,  in  the  andergradaate  department  and  in  the 
professional  schools,  as  well  as  the  growth  developed  during  the  past  twenty 
years  or  so,  considered  with  reference  to  their  origin,  the  wisdom  of  their 
conception,  the  energy  of  their  execution  and  the  grand  success  which  has 
attended  them,  I  am  more  impressed  than  ever  with  what  I  have  long  since 
observed :  that  a  university  in  this  country  is  just  what  its  president  makes  it. 

All  the  professors  and  instructors  combined,  however  learned,  cannot 
advance  the  prosperity  of  a  college  as  an  able  President,  adapted  to  the 
times,  may  do  by  his  genius,  energy  and  inspiration ;  so  great  is  his  in- 
fluence on  the  affairs  of  the  institution. 

Prof.  Bryce,  io  his  recently  published  work,  "The  American  Common- 
wealth,*' says :  *'  A  visitor  from  Europe  is  struck  by  the  prominence  of  the 
president  in  an  American  university  or  college,  and  the  almost  monarchial 
position  which  he  sometimes  occupies  towards  the  professors  as  well  as 
towards  the  students.  Far  more  authority  seems  to  be  vested  in  him,  far 
more  to  turn  upon  his  individual  talents  and  character  than  in  the  univer- 
sities of  Europe.  Neither  the  German  Pro-Rector,  nor  the  yice-Chancellor 
in  Oxford  or  Cambridge,  nor  the  Principal  in  a  Scottish  university,  nor  the 
Provost  of  Trinity  College  in  Dublin,  nor  the  head  in  one  of  the  colleges 
in  Oxford  or  Cambridge  is  anything  like  so  important  a  personage  in  re- 
spect to  his  office,  whatever  influence  his  individual  gifts  may  give  him,  as 
an  American  college  President.** 

Institutions  are  not  exceptions  to  the  natural  law  of  growth  and  decay 
which  pervades  the  entire  universe.  A  college  that  is  not  progressing  is 
more  or  less  rapidly  running  behind,  as  though  touched  by  a  withering 
hand.  The  genius  of  a  President  may  infuse  such  life  into  it  as  to  cause 
its  prosperity  to  continue  for  several  years  after  his  retirement,  as  wheels 
set  in  motion  by  an  active  power  continue  to  roll  on  after  the  power  is  re- 
moved, but  a  time  comes  when  the  stored  force  becomes  exhausted  and  the 
wheels  must  stop  unless  the  power  be  renewed. 

Other  colleges  than  Harvard  have  furnished  marked  instances  of  the  in- 
fluence of  the  strong  individuality  and  genius  of  some  of  their  Presidents. 
Union  College  came  into  prominence  under  the  long  term  of  Rev.  Dr.  Nott, 
the  distinguished,  popular  and  beloved  President  of  that  institution,  which 
he  raised  from  a  feeble  condition  to  the  front  rank  of  the  colleo^es  of  his 
time.  Williams  College  had  new  life  and  vigor  infused  into  it  by  Dr. 
Hopkins,  who  greatly  increased  the  number  of  students  by  his  magnetic 
attraction,  endeared  himself  to  a  large  body  of  men  educated  under  his  in- 


60  Harvard  University.  [Jan. 

fluence,  and  left  the  college  flourishing  and  in  the  highest  state  of  prosperity. 
The  College  of  New  Jersey  (popularly  known  as  Princeton),  advanced 
under  the  inspiration  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  McCosh,  whose  strong  mind  and  will 
have  left  their  impression  upon  all  its  affairs. 

In  early,  as  well  as  in  recent  years,  Harvard  has  been  controlled  to  a 
large  extent  by  Presidents,  who,  exactly  suited  to  the  times,  successfully 
carried  the  college  through  difficulties  and  dangers  which  disturbed  its  use- 
fulness and  sometimes  even  threatened  its  very  existence.  John  Leverett 
was  president  from  1707  to  1724,  a  period  when  party  strife  raged  with 
great  bitterness  among  the  friends  of  the  institution,  and  with  such  ability, 
discretion  and  skill  did  he  pilot  the  college  amidst  all  its  troubles,  that  Mr. 
Quincy,  in  his  History  of  Harvard,  was  led  to  express  his  views  of  the  in- 
fluence of  the  heads  of  colleges  in  these  general  terms,  but  with  special 
reference  to  Presi<]ent  Leverett:  "Institutions  among  the  tumults  of 
party  discord,  like  ships  among  the  strife  of  warring  elements,  are  often 
urged  onward  with  accelerated  force  by  the  tempest,  which  at  first  retarded 
their  progress,  and  even  threatened  their  destruction.  Success  in  both 
cases  depends  on  the  firmness  and  skill  of  the  pilot. ** 

But  modern  instances  are  the  special  subject  of  this  article.  I  remember 
many  years  ago,  that  after  Mr.  Quincy  had  left  the  Presidency  and  was 
living  in  dignified  retirement  in  Boston,  he  attended  a  commencement  din- 
ner, at  which,  of  course,  he  was  called  out  among  the  first  speakers. 

Rising  from  his  seat,  he  began  by  stating  that,  as  he  was  expecting  to  be 
called  upon  for  an  extemporaneous  speech,  he  had  prepared  himself  for  it  by 
writing  out  what  he  had  to  say,  at  the  same  time  producing  a  fully  written 
document,  which  he  proceeded  to  read.  His  memory  had  for  some  years 
been  gradually  failing,  and  he  feared  to  trust  himself  to  make  an  extem- 
poraneous speech  in  any  other  way. 

He  went  on  and  told  the  alumni  present  the  circumstances  leading  to  his 
election  as  President  of  the  college,  and  they  were,  as  I  now  remember 
them,  substantially  as  follows:  Judge  Story  and  Mr.  Bowditch,  the  great 
mathematician,  both  of  the  corporation,  of  which  they  were  a  committee 
for  that  purpose,  ciime  to  his  house  and  said  they  wanted  him  to  take  the 
Presidency  of  Harvard  College,  then  recently  vacated  by  the  resignation  of 
the  Rev.  Dw  Kirkland.  Said  he,  *'  I  should  not  have  been  more  astonished 
had  I  been  called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  Old  South  Church,  for  up  to  that 
time  the  heads  of  institutions  of  learning  had  always  been  selected  from  the 
clergy,  who  had  come  to  regard  them  as  the  prizes  of  their  profession 
alone.*'  The  committee  explained  to  him  why  they  wanted  him  to  under- 
take the  duties  of  the  office.  Under  the  administration  of  Dr.  Kirkland, 
a  godly  and  easy-going  man,  the  discipline  of  the  college  had  fallen  into  a 
low  state,  and  the  finances  were  in  a  loose  and  disordered  condition,  both  of 
which  they  were  sure  he  could  improve.  He  still  hesitated  and  raised 
objections,  but  all  were  overcome,  and  he  was  made  President  of  the  college 
in  January,  1829. 

Mr.  Quincy  had  great  experience  in  affairs.  He  had  held  many  offices, 
the  most  recent  being  that  of  Mayor  of  Boston,  which  he  had  held  for  six 
successive  terms,  the  last  of  which  had  expired  the  December  previous, 
when  he  declined  re-election.  As  mayor,  ho  had  displayed  great  ability  and 
force  of  character,  which  marked  him  as  the  man  for  the  occasion  to  improve 
the  condition  of  the  University.  His  administration  was  a  success  for  the 
times  and  under  the  circumstances.  Abolishing  the  '^  Med-Fac  Society  " 
and  the  '*  Engine  Club,"  nurseries  of  insubordination,  he  introduced  a 
severe  and  stern  method  of  discipline,  adapted  to  the  then  existing  order

of  thingB,  but  wholly  different  from  the  self-reliaDt  system  and  the  refined 
standa^  which  prevail  to-day.  The  finances,  too,  were  put  in  a  healthy 
condition. 

On  the  whole,  the  college  is  greatly  indebted  to  Mr.  Qnincy  for  what  he 
did,  and  he  must  be  considered  as  one  of  its  great  Presidents. 

The  election  of  John  Leverett,  in  1707,  might  seem  to  be  an  exception 
to  Mr.  Qaincy*s  statement  that  none  but  clergymen  had  previously  been 
elected  Presidents.  It  is  true  that  Mr.  Leverett  was  also  a  judge,  but  he 
had  studied  theology,  was  a  theologian  identified  with  the  clergy,  and  it  was 
npon  him,  in  1 692,  that  the  college  first  conferred  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Divinity.  In  early  colonial  times,  when  there  were  few  or  no  lawyers, 
exclusively  educated  as  such,  it  was  not  uncommon  for  clergymen  to  be 
i^pointed  judges.* 

It  was  a  well  known  fact  that  Rev.  Cotton  Mather  all  his  life  labored 
under  a  burning  ambition  to  become  President  of  the  college,  which  would 
place  him  at  the  head  of  the  clergy,  and  so  make  him  the  most  infiuendal 
person  in  public  affairs  in  those  days  when  the  clergy  ruled  the  colony.  In 
1724,  the  corporation  and  overseers  elected  as  President  Rev.  Joseph 
Sewall,  who,  however,  declined  the  appointment.  The  day  after  this 
election  Cotton  Mather  made  this  remarkable  entry  in  his  diary :  **  I  am 
informed  that  yesterday  the  six  men  who  call  themselves  the  Corporation 
of  the  College,  met,  and,  contrary  to  the  epidemical  expectation  of  the 
country,  chose  a  modest  young  man,  of  whose  piety  (and  little  else)  every 
one  gives  a  laudable  character.  I  always  foretold  these  two  things  of  the 
Corporation :  First,  that  if  it  were  possible  for  them  to  steer  clear  of  me 
they  will  do  so ;  secondly,  that  if  it  were  possible  for  them  to  act  foolishly 
they  will  do  so. 

**•  The  perpetual  envy  with  which  my  essays  to  serve  the  kingdom  of  God 
are  treated  among  them,  and  the  dread  that  Satan  has  of  my  beating  up  his 
quarters  at  the  college,  led  me  into  the  former  sentiment;  the  marvellous  in- 
discretion with  which  the  affairs  of  the  college  are  managed  led  me  into  the 
latter." 

Cotton  Mather  was,  withal,  something  of  a  demagogue,  between  whom 
and  the  corporation  there  could  be  little  sentiment  in  common.  At  all 
periods  of  time  the  corporation  has  had  upon  its  board  men,  the  wisest, 
most  broad-minded  and  most  liberal  to  be  found  in  the  community,  and 
such  men  could  have  no  sympathy  with  Rev.  Cotton  Mather.  He  never 
obtained  the  object  of  his  ambition,  and  died  without  having  been  President 
of  Harvard  College. 

In  September,  1868,  the  ofiice  of  President  became  vacant  by  the  resig- 
nation of  the  late  Rev.  Dr.  Thomas  Hill,  (my  beloved  classmate  and  friend) 
the  corporation  had  the  responsibility  cast  upon  it  of  finding  a  suitable 
aucoessor.  Two  members  of  the  Board  were  and  long  had  been  connected 
with  the  Merrimac  Manufacturing  Company,  whose  works  were  at  Lowell 
— Hon.  John  A.  Lowell  and  Hon.  Francis  B.  Crowninsbield,  the  former  as 
one  of  tbe  directors  and  the  latter  as  treasurer.  In  the  practical  organi- 
sation of  the  Massachusetts  manufacturing  companies  the  treasurer  is  the 
general  manager  upon  whose  skill  and  judgment  the  success  of  the  corpora- 
tion depends,  as  much  as  does  that  of  a  college  upon  its  President.     He  is

a  well  paid  officer,  while  the  directors,  of  whom  the  president  is  little  more 
than  a  figare-head,  serve  without  compensation,  and  usually  give  little 
attention  to  the  business  except  when  called  together  by  the  treasurer  for 
consultation  in  relation  to  important  movements  and  extensive  changes. 
Messrs.  Lowell  and  Crowninshield  were  able  and  astute  men  who  had  the 
interests  of  the  college  deeply  at  heart. 

Three  years  and  a  half  before  that  time  it  had  become  necessary  to 
appoint  a  new  superintendent  (locally  called  agent)  of  the  mills  at  Lowell. 
This  position  is  one  of  great  difficulty,  requiring  not  only  thorough  know- 
ledge of  business,  but  capacity  to  manage  a  great  body  of  operatives,  keep 
them  satisfied  and  contented,  and  obtain  the  greatest  product  from  their 
intelligent  labor.  In  importance  he  is  second  only  to  the  treasurer,  to 
whom  he  is  adjutant  and  assistant.  It  is  not  easy  to  determine  upon  which 
of  the  two  the  success  of  the  corporation  more  largely  depends.  It  is  im- 
portant to  the  treasurer  that  he  should  have  an  able  and  skillful  superin- 
tendent, and  a  new  appointment  is  always  a  matter  of  anxiety  to  him,  of 
solicitude  to  the  directors  and  of  interest  to  the  stockholders. 

By  some  means,  while  Mr.  Eliot  was  tutor  and  assistant  professor  at 
Harvard,  the  treasurer  and  directors  had  formed  a  high  opinion  of  his 
executive  ability  and  his  skill  in  the  general  management  of  affairs.  The 
superin tendency  was  offered  him  at  a  salary  of  $5,000  a  year  and  the  use 
of  a  house.  This  was  a  large  compensation  for  the  times,  two-thirds  more, 
in  money,  than  the  then  established  salary  of  the  President  of  Harvard. 
The  offer  was  a  tempting  one  to  a  young  man  thirty-one  years  of  age,  and 
of  limited  means.  Mr.  Eliot  was  in  Rome  when  the  offer  was  received. 
After  a  week's  reflection  he  decided  to  stick  to  education  as  the  business  of 
which  he  knew  the  most  and  for  which  he  thought  himself  best  fitted,  and 
the  appointment  was  declined.  A  few  weeks  later  he  was  invited  to  a 
professorship  in  the  then  newly  established  Institute  of  Technology,  to  be 
opened  in  Boston,  October  1,  1865,  with  a  much  smaller  salary;  and  that 
offer  being  in  the  line  of  his  studies  and  his  ambition,  it  was  accepted. 
Thus  the  Merrimac  Manufacturing  Company  missed  a  valuable  superin- 
tendent who  might  have  increased  the  dividends  of  the  stockholders,  and 
there  was  reserved  to  the  college  one  who  was  destined  to  become  its 
President  with  a  long  and  brilliant  administration. 

It  was  natural  that  Mr.  Crowninshield  and  Mr.  Lowell,  who  had  become 
impressed  in  1865  with  Mr.  Eliot's  capacity  and  capabilities,  should  in  the 
winter  of  1868-9  bring  him  before  the  corporation  of  the  college  as  a 
suitable  person  for  President.  To  the  four  other  members  of  that  body 
Mr.  Eliot  was  well  known,  and  I  apprehend  it  was  an  easy  matter  to  obtain 
their  unanimous  vote  for  his  election.  He  was  also  somewhat  known  to 
the  Overseers,  being  himself  a  member  of  the  Board,  to  which  he  had  been 
elected  by  the  alumni  on  Commencement  Day,  1868,  under  the  then  newly 
adopted  system  of  election. 

In  February  and  March,  1869,  while  the  presidential  vacancy  still  re- 
mained unfilled,  there  appeared  in  the  AtkaUic  Monthly  two  articles  on 
*'The  New  Education,"  which  were  known  to  have  been  written  by  Mr. 
Eliot  These  articles  were  so  full  of  deep  thought  and  progressive  ideas 
that  they  made  a  decided  impression  on  the  Overseers  and  friends  of  the 
college  and  unmistakably  marked  their  author  as  the  man  for  President.  I 
have  always  tliought  that  those  articles  contributed  largely,  if  not  to  hb 
nomination,  at  least  to  his  ultimate  confirmation  by  the  Board  of  Overseers. 

He  was  elected  by  the  corporation  March  12,  and  nominated  to  the 
Orerseers  March  18, 1869.    Alkoy  of  the  Board  doubted  the  expediency  of

tmstiDg  80  great  respoDsibilities  to  so  yoang  a  mao.  His  age  was  much 
below  that  of  any  former  President,  except  the  first,  Henry  Dunster,  who 
held  the  office  in  the  day  of  small  things  for  the  college,  during  whose  whole 
fourteen  years  of  service  there  were  graduated  but  seventy-four  persons. 

The  nomination,  on  the  day  of  its  presentation,  was  referred  to  a  com* 
mittee  of  four,  who  made  their  report  April  7,  unanimously  recommending 
that  the  election  be  confirmed.  Still  a  majority  of  the  Board  hesitated. 
The  matter  was  put  over  to  an  adjourned  meeting,  April  21.  On  that 
day  it  was  voted  '*  that  the  communication  from  the  corporation  in  refer- 
ence to  the  election  of  Mr.  Eliot  as  President  of  the  University  be  referred 
back  to  the  corporation.*' 

Subsequently,  May  19,  the  corporation  replied  that  **  they  remain 
unanimously  of  the  opinion  that  their  action  in  electing  Mr.  Eliot  is  adapted 
to  promote  the  best  interests  of  the  University."  In  the  meantime  a 
majority  of  the  corporation  had  evidently  come  to  the  consciousness  of  the 
fad  that  youth  is  an  objection  to  which  time  is  constantly  applying  a 
remedy,  while  age  is  always  advancing  with  increasing  infirmities  and  disa- 
bilities. Old  men  will  go  on  very  well  in  the  beaten  track  they  have 
travelled  for  years,  but  for  enterprise  and  vigorous  action  young  men  of 
ambition  and  elements  of  growth  are  much  better. 

An  informal  vote  wah  taken  at  that  meeting  and  resulted  fifteen  in  the 
affirmative  and  nine  in  the  negative.  On  a  formal  ballot,  which  imme- 
diately followed,  the  nomination  was  confirmed  by  a  vote  of  sixteen  to 
eight,  and  Mr.  Eliot  was  declared  elected. 

The  wisdom  of  the  choice  has  been  proved  by  more  than  twenty  years  of 
successful  adminbtration,  during  which  the  college  has  prospered  as  it  never 
prospered  before. 

What  I  have  written  in  relation  to  Mr.  Eliot  is  drawn  from  personal 
knowledge.  About  the  time  he  was  offered  the  position  of  superintendent 
of  the  Merrimack  Mills  I  was  one  of  the  directors  of  the  company,  of  whom 
I  am  the  last  survivor,  and  the  offer  is  now  known  only  to  himself  and  to 
me.  When  he  was  chosen  President  of  the  college  I  was  one  of  the  Board 
of  Overseers,  serving  the  last  year  of  ray  first  term  by  election  of  the  Leg- 
islature, under  the  old  but  not  the  oldest  system.  Having  been  re-elected 
by  the  alumni  under  the  new  system,  I  continued  to  serve  on  the  Board  for 
six  years  thereafter  while  he  was  preparing  the  ground,  planting  the  seed 
and  developing  of  his  ideas,  the  steady  growth  of  which  I  have  ever  since 
watched  with  deep  interest  and  with  great  pride  for  my  Alma  Metier, 

Mr.  Eliot,  with  becoming  modesty,  attributes  much  of  the  success  of  the 
college  during  his  administration  to  the  circumstances  of  the  times  and  the 
development  of  the  nation  in  wealth,  self-reliance  and  intelligence.  It  is 
DO  doubt  true  that  the  condition  of  affairs  has  been  favorable  for  his  work, 
but  that  detracts  nothing  from  the  credit  due  to  him,  nor  lessens  the  true 
estimate  of  his  ability.  He  may  be  regarded  as  the  fortunate  man  who, 
taking  the  college  at  the  fiood-tide  of  affairs,  has  led  it  on  to  fortune,  while 
in  other  less  skillful  hands  it  might  have  been  '* bound  in  shallows  and  in 
miseries."  The  success  of  real  ability  is  often  attributed  to  good  luck,  but 
the  difference  between  the  lucky  and  the  unlucky  man  is  that  the  former 
takes  advantage  of  opportunities  and  makes  the  most  of  them,  while  the 
latter  lets  them  pass  by  unobserved  and  unused. 

Success  always  springs  from  the  contact  of  favorable  circumstances  with 
fiiculty,  as  does  the  spark  from  the  sudden  contact  of  a  fiint  with  the  steel. 
Talent  works  in  rich  and  fertile  fields,  while  dullness  is  doomed  to  scratch 
in  barren  places.

THE  ENGLISH  ANCESTORS  OF  JOHN  BENT,  OF 

SUDBURY. 

By  E.  C.  FiLTOy,  Ewi.,  of  Steelton,  F^niujlTanUu 

John  Bent,  the  first  of  the  surname  in  New  England,  settled  in 
Sndburj,  and  shared  in  the  first  and  second  divisions  of  land  there 
in  1639  and  1640.*  He  is  said  to  have  been  one  of  Maj.  Simon 
Willard's  troopers  in  the  fruitless  expedition  against  Ninigret  in 
October,  1654.  f  His  name  appears  in  1656  as  one  of  the  peti- 
tioners to  the  Greneral  Court  for  a  grant  of  the  land  which  subse- 
quently formed  the  town  of  Marlborough. |  He  died  in  Sudbury, 
27  September,  1672,  and  seems  to  have  been  a  prosperous  and 
public-spirited  man.  His  descendants  settled  during  the  seventeenth 
century  In  Marlborough,  Framingham  and  Milton.  The  following 
details  in  regard  to  his  English  ancestors  will  certainly  be  of  interest 
to  his  numerous  descendants  in  America. 

The  difficulty  which  exists  in  establishing  the  English  homes  of 
many  of  the  early  emigrants  to  New  England  does  not  confront  us 
in  the  case  of  John  Bent.  His  name  occurs  on  the  list  of  passengers 
sailing  in  the  ship  Confidence  from  Southampton,  24  April,  1638, 
now  on  file  in  the  Public  Record  Office  in  London.  §  The  record 
is  as  follows  : — 

35.  John  Bent  of  Pen  ton  in  the  County  of  South'  Husbandman. 
Martha  his  wife;  Robert,  William,  Peter,  Jokm  and  Ann  their  children; 
all  under  ye  age  of  xij  jeare8.| 

There  is  further  mention  of  him  in  Letchford's  Note  JSook.H 
''John  Bent  of  Sudbury  in  New  England  late  ot  Waybill  in  the 
County  of  Southampton  husbandman  makes  a  letter  of  Attorney 
unto  his  brother-in-law  Will™  Baker  of  New  Sarum  in  the  County 
of  Wiltes  Plummer  to  receive  &  recover  of  and  from  WUl™  Cole  of 
Waybill  aforesaid  husbandman  the  summe  of  twenty  pounds  of  law- 
ful money  of  England  w*^  he  owes  him  by  bond  now  in  the  hands 
of  my  sayd  Attorney."** 

On  this  side  of  the  Atlantic  the  files  of  the  Middlesex  County 
Courtff  and  of  the  Salem  CourtJt  give  clear  evidence  as  to  the 
English  home  of  John's  mother  Agnes.

nineteen.  The  father  was  fifty -eight,  and  it  hardly  seems  probable  that  he  was  one  of  the 
expedition.

BELKNAP. 

Bj  Abthub  Amort  Codman,  Esq. 

Tms  name  appears  to  have  been  originally  JSealknap.  Jamie- 
son  defines  Beale  or  Beal,  **a  passage  between  hills;  a  narrow 
pass."  Knap  is  a  low  hill  or  knoll.  There  is,  perhaps,  somewhere 
in  England,  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  a  "  narrow  pass,"  a  little 
hill  which  bears,  or  which  once  bore,  the  name  of  the  Bealknap^  and 
which  gave  rise  to  this  surname.  "The  Book  of  Dignities  "mentions 
"1374  Robt,  de  Bealknap,  aft.  Sir  R."  In  Rymer's  Foedera,  vol. 
vi.,  p.  623,  is  found  the  name  of  Robertns  Bealknap,  one  of  the 
King's  ^^dilectes  etjidelesy^  under  date  of  A.  D.  1369,  An.  43. 
E.  3.  In  the  same  work,  vol.  x.,  p.  204,  A.  D.  1422,  An.  10. 
H.  5,  mention  is  made  of  Johane  Bealknap,  as  the  first-mentioned 
of  four  "  Damoiselles  de  nostre  Treschere  Compaign6  " — evidently 
maids  of  honor  to  the  Queen.  In  the  same  volume,  p.  387,  ap- 
pears the  name  of  Grisell  Bealknap.  These  ladies  were  probably 
daughters  of  Sir  Robert,  generally  spoken  of  as  Sir  Robert  Belknap 
— ^the  only  man  of  the  name,  of  his  generation,  of  whom  I  find 
record,  Hume  says,  "Sir  Robert  Belknappe,  Chief  Justice  of  the 
Common  Pleas,"  was  one  of  the  Judges  appealed  to  by  Charles  II. 
to  decide  as  to  his  right  of  restoration  to  the  crown,  and  who  be- 
cause they  decided  in  the  King's  favor  were  declared  guilty  of  high 
treason  by  the  House  of  Peers,  "after  a  very  short  interval,  without 
hearing  a  witness,  without  examining  a  ikct,  or  deliberating  on  one 
point  of  law,"  Sir  Robert  Bealknap,  Belknappe,  or  Belknap,  was 
the  first  of  four  generations  of  knights,  his  son  Hamon  or  Hamond, 
grandson  Henry,  and  great-grandson  Edward,  having  each  been 
knighted.  The  blood  of  the  first  three  of  these  flows  in  the  veins  of 
some  of  the  best  families  of  England,  but  unfortunately  for  the  in- 
terest of  the  American  Belknaps,  they  are,  apparently,  not  descended 
from  Sir  Robert,  for  I  find  mention  of  only  his  son  Sir  Hamon ; — 
it  is  however,  possible,  of  course,  that  Sir  Hamon  may  have  had 
brothers.  Sir  Hamon  had  three  sons,  but  only  one  of  them  left  an 
heir.  "Sir  Hamon  Belknap  left  three  sons,  John,  William  and

There  are  numerous  references  to  the  name  of  Belknap  in  the  two 
histories  of  Kent,  Philipott's  and  Hasted's,  and  occasionallj  in  some 
of  the  other  County  Histories,  but  they  almost  all  refer  to  this 
knightly  line  who  held  a  great  number  of  manors.  The  only  other 
Belknaps  of  whom  I  find  mention  in  England  are  the  following :  — 
Philip  Belknap,  Mayor  of  Canterbury,  died  1457,  leaving,  appa- 
rently, no  son.  Symon  Belknap  "of  Knole,  in  Kent,"  is  mentioned 
in  the  Visitations  of  Essex,  but  Hasted  has  no  mention  of  him. 
In  Blomefield's  Norfolk,  in  the  account  of  the  church  of  Wareham, 
is  mentioned  the  following  inscription  on  one  of  the  upper  or  cleres- 
tory windows,  in  old  English  lettering: — 

"Orate  pro  anima  Willielmi  Attehill.

PROBATE  COURTS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS. 

By  Hon.  Oeobob  Whitb,  A.M.,  LL.B.,  Jadge  of  Probate  and  Insolvency  for  Norfolk 

Coanty. 

The  article  on  the  **  Probate  Forms  of  Massachusetts,"  in  the 
Register  for  July,  1894,  reminds  me  of  another  important  change 
in  relation  to  the  Probate  Courts  eflPected  by  legislation  emanating 
firom  the  same  source. 

Before  1859  the  Judges  of  Probate  were  fixtures  in  their  respec- 
tive counties ;  as  no  provision  of  law  existed  for  transacting  official 
business  in  their  absences.  In  earlier  days  when  the  business  was 
small  and  the  times  for  holding  court,  fixed  by  the  Judges  them- 
selves, were  few  and  far  between,  the  inconvenience  was  little  felt ; 
and  several  judges  continued  in  office  for  more  than  thirty  years 
without  absence  firom  their  duties  by  reason  of  illness  or  otiberwise 
to  any  troublesome  extent. 

But  when  the  business  was  enormously  enlarged  by  the  great  in- 
crease in  population  and  wealth,  and  by  additional  jurisdiction  fi:t)m 
time  to  time  conferred  by  the  Legislature,  the  inconvenience  became 
real  and  serious.  This  was  much  intensified  when,  in  1858,  the 
Legislature  united  the  offices  of  Judge  of  Insolvency  (established 
in  1856)  and  Judge  of  Probate,  providing  for  one  judge  in  each 
county  to  be  ex-officio  Judge  of  the  Probate  Court  and  Court  of 
Insolvency. 

The  Revised  Statutes  of  1836  contained  a  provision  (Ch.  83, 
915)  that  when  a  Judge  of  Probate  was  intei^ested  in  any  case,  the 

VOL.  XLIX.  7 


70  Probate  Courts  of  Massa^huseHs.  [Ja». 

same  should  be  transferred  to  the  most  ancient  adjoining  county, 
except  in  Nantucket  and  Dukes  County  when  it  should  be  trans- 
ferred to  Barnstable  County.  The  Act  of  1866,  Ch.  284,  establish- 
ing Courts  of  Insolvency,  with  one  judge  in  each  county,  contained 
the  following  provision : 

Sec.  5.  If  any  of  said  judges  shall,  from  sickDess,  absence  or  other 
cause,  be  unable  to  perform  the  duties  required  of  him,  in  any  case  arising 
within  his  jurisdiction,  or  shall  be  interested  in  any  such  case,  the  duties 
required  of  him  shall,  if  such  case  shall  arise  in  the  county  of  Dukes 
County  or  Nantucket,  be  performed  by  the  judge  of  the  insolvency  court 
of  Barnstable  County;  and  if  such  case  shall  arise  in  any  other  county  than 
Dukes  County  or  Nantucket,  such  duties  shall  be  performed  by  the  judge  of 
the  insolvency  court  of  that  adjoining  county  having  the  least  number  of 
inhabitants  according  to  the  next  preceding  decennial  census.  (Acts  and 
Resolves  of  Mass.,  1856,  Chap.  284,  Sec.  d.) 

But  this  did  not  meet  the  difficulty,  even  for  the  courts  of  insol- 
vency, to  which  alone  it  applied.  The  Judge  must  still  be  present 
to  attend  to  his  Probate  business. 

When  he  was  unable,  by  reason  of  sickness,  absence  or  other 
cause,  to  perform  his  insolvency  business,  or  was  interested,  the 
only  judge  who  could  take  his  place  in  the  Court  of  Insolvency  was 
the  judge  of  that  adjoining  county  having  the  least  number  of 
inhabitants,  or  in  Dukes  county  or  Nantucket  by  the  judge  of 
Barnstable  County. 

A  plan  was  devised  by  William  A.  Richardson,  last  Judge  of 
Probate,  and  the  first  Judge  of  Probate  and  Insolvency  for  the 
county  of  Middlesex,  by  which  the  judges  might  interchange  services 
and  perform  each  other's  duties,  according  to  their  mutual  conveni- 
ences and  arrangements,  thus  making  the  Probate  Court  and  the 
Court  of  Insolvency,  to  a  greater  extent,  impersonal  courts,  one  of 
the  most  important  distinguishing  features  of  courts  of  record. 

This  released  the  judges  from  being  kept  for  life  to  their  re- 
spective counties  and  enabled  them  to  take  vacations,  with  journeys, 
for  health  or  recreation,  to  Europe  or  elsewhere,  and  provided  for 
cases  of  long  continued  illness  without  worry  and  annoyance  to 
themselves,  and  without  disarranging  or  disturbing  the  business 
of  the  people.  During  the  more  than  twenty-five  years  since  that 
provision  was  enacted  few  of  the  judges  have  not  felt  and  appr^ 
ciated  its  great  benefits. 

It  required  considerable  effort  to  secure  the  passage  of  an  act  to 
make  the  change.  Judge  Richardson  drafted  a  Bill  for  carrying 
the  plan  into  effect,  and  his  friend  and  class-mate,  Hon.  John  W. 
Bacon,  then  a  senator  from  Middlesex  county,  introduced  it  into 
tjie  Senate,  where  it  passed  exactly  as  drafted  with  the  omission  of 
an  immaterial  repeal  section.  When  the  Bill  reached  the  House  of 
Representatives  some  opposition  was  encountered.     The  allowing  of 


1895.]  The  Snow  Genealogy.  71 

judges,  who  had  always  been  regarded  as  holding  personal  courts 
in  their  own  names,  to  interchange  services  and  perform  each  other's 
duties  at  pleasure,  seemed  so  novel  that  many  representatives  at  first 
could  not  agree  to  it.  The  Committee  of  Probate  and  Chancery 
reported  it  in  a  new  draft,  which  was  nothing  more  than  the  exact 
provisions  of  the  fifth  section  of  the  act  of  1856,  establishing  the 
courts  of  Insolvency  above  quoted,  limiting  the  holding  of  courts  in 
any  coun^  in  the  case  of  absence,  &c.,  to  the  judge  of  that  county 
having  the  least  number  of  inhabitants.  The  new  draft  was  re- 
jected by  the  Senate  and  its  own  Bill  adhered  to.  On  return  to 
the  House  the  doubting  members  having  been  induced  by  further 
consideration  and  explanation  to  withdraw  their  opposition,  the  Bill 
passed  and  became  a  law.  This  legistation  was  combined  in  the 
General  Statutes  with  the  pre-existing  provisions  on  the  same  sub- 
ject, as  it  now  stands  in  the  Public  Statutes,  Chapter  158,  Sees. 
3  and  4. 

While  the  Bill  was  in  preparation  and  during  its  passage.  Judge 
Bichardson  was  earnest  in  devising  the  plan  and  zealous  in  securing 
its  adoption  by  the  Legislature.  To  Judge  Richardson  the  people 
of  Massachusetts  are  greatly  indebted  for  its  Probate  system — for  the 
simplicity  and  efficiency  of  its  forms  and  proceedings,  and  for  the 
enlarged  jurisdiction  of  these  Probate  Courts  which  now  have 
exclusive  original  jurisdiction  in  almost  all  questions  arising  in  the 
settlement  of  estates. 

For  the  past  twenty  years  Judge  Richardson  has  been  a  Judge 
of  the  Court  of  Claims,  and  has  done  much  to  extend  the  jurisdic- 
tion and  increase  the  usefulness  of  the  distinguished  Court,  and  ia 
at  present  its  Chief  Justice.

JoY. — P.  A.  True  of  Salisbury,  Mass.,  has  found  among  the  papers  of  the 
late  Samuel  Blaisdell  Joy,  a  power  of  attorney  executed,  May  27,  1746,  before 
Caleb  Cushing,  Jr.,  J.  P.,  by  which  Samuel  Joy  of  Salisbury,  yeoman,  consti- 
tutes his  son  Benjamin  Joy,  also  of  Salisbury,  to  be  his  true  and  lawful  attorney 
to  take  possession  of  the  lands  in  Hingham,  Mass.,  *'  which  were  granted  or 
laid  out  to  my  Grandfather  Mr.  Thomas  Joy  late  of  said  Hingham,  Dec'd." 
The  executor  of  this  paper  was  doubtless  Samuel,'  son  of  that  Samuel'  of  Bos- 
ton whose  widow  Ann  (Pitts)  married  Benjamin  Eastman  of  Salisbury  in  1678, 
when  Samuel,'  her  only  child  by  the  first  marriage,  was  but  seven  years  old. 
This  SamueP  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Joys  of  Salisbury  and  Amesbury,  and 
also  of  the  Joys  of  Southeastern  New  Hampshire  (Durham,  Newmarket,  Ports- 
mouth, New  Durham  and  Madbury).  James- Richard  Joy.

Just  where  is  Joseph'  Alden  (John*)  buried?  Will  no  one  try  and  find  it  and

mentions  none  of  them  in  his  will,  but  this  was  not  unusual.  Nicholas  Snow. 
Mark  Snow  and  others  only  speak  of  their  sons,  but  Mitchell,  in  his  History  or 
Bridgewater,  gives  him  two.  I  am  inclined  to  think  Sarah  who  married  Joseph 
Crossman,  and  possibly  Mercy  who  n)arried  John  Burrill  of  Weymouth  and 
Abington,  were  his  daughters,  though  Mercy  may  belong  to  David.  When 
Jonathan'  Alden  (John*)  died  he  left  no  will,  but  his  estate  was  divided  into  seven

Parentage  op  Mart  and  Suzanna  Kkowlbs.  Information  wanted, — The 
former,  b.  in  1765,  d.  Angnst  11,  1792,  and  is  buried  at  Brooklyn,  Conn.  She 
married  Francois  Cssar  Le  Roy,  a  *' French  gentleman,'*  abont  1780,  and  had 
issne:  Mary  Frances-Loqnare-2dly  Consolye;  Snzannah  Knowles-Metz ;  Har- 
riet-Donnellv ;  Francis  C«sar,  d.s.p.,  and  his  twin  sister  Ter6se  Mary  Charlotte- 

de  Honle.    Monsienr  Le  Roy  married  2diy,  Ennice,  danghter  of Monlton 

of ,  Mass.  or  Stafford,  Conn.,  by  whom  there  were  seven  daughters  and 

three  sons,  some  of  whom  were  born  at  Sawpitts,  Ct.,  now  East  Chester,  N.  T., 
and  others  in  New  York  City. 

A  grand-daughter,  Caeserine  Metz,  married  a  consin,  Charles  Monlton,  banker 
of  New  York  and  Paris,  and  their  danghter  Helen  is  the  wife  of  Count  Paul  von 
Hatzfeld,  German  Embassador  at  the  British  Court,  by  whom  there  are  Helen- 
%o  Prince  Maximillian  Hohenlohe-Oehringen ;  Mary-to  his  brother  Prince  Fred- 
erick ;  and  Herman,  unmarried. 

Suzanna  Knowles,  b.  1764,  d.  at  Bristol,  Ct.,  May  16,  1842 ;  m.  Vine,  son  <^ 
Fanl  Holt,*  and  his  wife  Sarah  Welch,  b.  Feb.  26, 1770,  at  Hampton,— moved  to 
Bristol,  Conn.,  and  died  while  temporarily  absent  at  Willington,  Ct.,  April  9, 
1828.  As  their  eldest  child,  Joslah,  and  their  second,  Mary  Scovill,  were  bap- 
tized at  Brooklyn,  Conn.,  in  1796  and  in  1797  respectively,  and  their  youngest, 
Ziba,  at  Bristol,  Ct.  in  1800,  it  is  probable  that  they  were  married  at  or  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  former  place,  but  imperfect  records  fail  to  disclose  such  as  a  fact. 

It  is  surmised  that  Suzanna  and  Mary  were  children  of  Captain  Chariea 
Knowles,  who  served  during  the  Revolutionary  war.  He  entered  service  as 
qwvtermaater  of  the  Second  Connecticut  (Spencer's)  regiment.  May  9th,  and 


76  ITbtes  and  Queries.  [Jan. 

EcryeA  until  Dec.  10,  1775.  The  regiment  was  raised  at  or  from  the  yiclnity  of 
Middletown,  Connecticut,  bnt  Captain  Knowles's  place  of  birth  or  residence  was 
not  recorded  on  the  regimental  muster  rolls.  Subsequently  he  served  in  Knox's 
and  Crane's  regiments  of  Continental  Artillery  (Massachusetts),  from  Sept. 
1776  to  1781,  and  later  was  transferred  to  the  Corps  of  Artillery,  and  continued 

in  service  until  Nov.  8,  1783.     (Died  ,  1796),  but  all  efforts  to  discover 

where  he  was  born,  where  died,  or  where  buried,  have  been  fruitless  so  far. 

Any  information  to  throw  light  on  these  points  will  prove  invaluable  towards 
perfecting  the  pedigrees  of  the  descendants  of  the  Knowles-Le  Roy  and  Moul- 
ton-Le  Roy  marriages,  and  will  be  gratefully  acknowledged  by

Kent. — In  D wight's  Genealogy  the  statement  is  made  that  *'  Col.  Elihu  Kent, 
bom  Dec.  15, 1757,  went  with  his  father  [Major  Elihu  Kent]  into  the  revolutionary 
army  and  was  captured  on  Long  Island  by  the  enemy,  and  confined  for  a  long 
time  as  a  prisoner  of  war  in  the  old  Sugar  House  in  New  York,  where  he  suf- 
fered greatly.  He  was  a  farmer  at  Suffleld  and  kept  a  public  house.  He  mar- 
ried Elizabeth  Fitch  of  Lebanon,  Conn." 

The  above  statement  as  to  the  birth  and  marriage  of  Col.  Elihu  Kent  is  en- 
tirely accurate.  In  the  '*  Recorde  of  Connecticut  men  in  the  war  of  the  Revo- 
lution," however,  no  mention  of  Col.  Kent's  service  is  made,  though  the  service 
of  his  father.  Major  Elihu  Kent,  is  recorded.  Can  anyone  give  the  authority 
for  the  statement  in  Dwight?  (Miss)  Emma  C.  King.

Dr.  Ezekiel  Dodge  Gushing. — In  looking  over  an  article  by  Ebenezer  Alden 
upon  Dr.  Ezekiel  Dodge  Gushing,  that  appears  on  page  180  of  the  Register  for 
April,  1847,  I  find  it  stated  that  John  Gushing,  bom  in  1627,  son  of  Mathew, 
married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Nicholas  Jacob.  I  am  very  sure  that  this  is  an 
error,  as  by  my  record  of  the  Cushings  I  find  that  John  Gushing  married  Sarah, 
a  daughter  of  Mathew  Hawke,  and  that  it  was  his  brother  Mathew  who  mar- 
ried Sarah,  a  daughter  of  Nicholas  Jacob. 

Thinking  this  error  might  perhaps  mislead  parties  who  read  the  article,  and 
were  in  search  of  some  genealogical  fact,  I  have  taken  the  liberty  to  correct  the 
error.  L.  B.  Gushing.

Maine  Historical  Society. 

Portland,  Thursday,  September  6,  1894. — This  Society  enjoyed  its  annual 
Field  Day  excursion  by  a  trip  to  Pemaquid,  by  invitation  of  the  Lincoln  County 
Historical  Society. 

The  morning  train  from  Portland  brought  a  large  number  of  members  of  the 
Society,  and  additions  to  the  party  were  made  at  Wlscasset  and  Newcastle.  At 
the  latter  place  carriages  were  in  waiting,  and  soon  after  ten  o'clock  the  long 
procession  started  for  Pemaquid.  After  a  ride  of  fifteen  miles  the  party  reached 
Pemaquid  at  about  noon.  At  the  Jamestown  Hotel  a  most  excellent  dinner  was 
provided  by  the  Lincoln  County  Historical  Society.  After  dinner  an  oppor- 
tunity was  given  for  inspecting  the  old  ruins  which  are  now  the  property  of 
the  Pemaquid  Monument  Association.  Much  work  has  been  done  by  way  of 
excavation  to  show  the  method  of  construction.  At  the  old  fort  a  platform  had 
been  built  on  the  top  of  the  great  rock  in  the  centre  of  the  corner  bastion. 
Here  President  John  M.  Glldden  of  the  Lincoln  County  Society,  in  a  brief 
speech  introduced  President  James  P.  Baxter  of  the  State  Society.  Mr.  Baxter 
thanked  the  Lincoln  County  Society  for  its  hospitality.  He  read  a  letter  from

Whlttemore,  representing  the  Lincoln  County  society.

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  NEW-ENGLAND  HISTORIC 

GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prepared  by  the  Historiogrmpher,  Rev.  Ezra  Hott  Btixoton,  D.D.,  of  Newton,  Man. 

The  sketches  of  deceased  members  prepared  for  the  Rboistbr  are  of 
Decessity  brief,  because  the  space  that  cao  be  appropriated  is  quite  limited. 
All  the  materials  for  more  extended  memoirs  which  can  be  ^thered  are 
preserved  in  the  archives  of  the  Society,  and  they  will  be  available  for  use 
in  preparing  the  **  Memorial  Biographies,*'  of  which  four  volumes  have 
been  issued  and  a  fifth  volume  is  in  press.  The  income  from  the  Towne 
Memorial  Fund  is  devoted  to  the  publication  of  these  volumes. 

RoBBST  Charucs  WoniiROP,  A.M.,  LL.D.,  of  Boston,  a  Life  Member  of  this 
Society,  was  bom  in  Boston,  Biiay  12,  1809,  and  died  in  Boston,  November  16, 
1894.  He  was  a  descendant  in  the  sixth  generation  from  the  great  Paritaa 
leader.  Governor  John  Wintbrop,  the  true  founder  of  the  Colony  of  Massachu- 
setts Bay.  The  family  of  Winthrop  was  an  ancient  and  honored  family  in 
England.  Groton  manor,  near  Lavenham,  came  into  the  possession  of  Adam 
Winthrop,  the  second  of  the  name,  in  1548.  This  manor  descended  to  Governor 
John  Winthrop,  who  is  said  to  have  bad  an  income,  when  be  left  England, 
equivalent  In  onr  day  to  between  three  and  four  thousand  pounds  per  annum. 
His  son,  commonly  called  **  John  Winthrop  the  younger,"  was  one  of  the  most 
accomplished  scholars  of  his  time,  and  for  nearly  twenty  years  Governor  of 
Connecticut.  His  son.  Chief  Jnstice  Winthrop,  is  spoken  of  by  Judge  Sewall 
in  his  diary  as  **  the  great  stay  and  ornament  of  the  Council,  a  very  pious,  pru- 
dent, conragcous  New  England  man."  His  son  was  an  active  meml)er  of  the 
Boyal  Society,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College  of  1700,  and  died  near  London  in 
1747.  John  S.  Winthrop,  of  the  next  generation,  was  an  excellent  business  man, 
who  was  graduated  from  Tale  College  1737,  and  died  in  New  London  1776. 
Lieut.  Governor  Thomas  Lindall  Winthrop  was  bom  in  New  London,  March  6, 
1760,  gradnated  from  Harvard  College  in  1780,  and  died  in  Boston,  Feb.  21, 1841. 
He  was  for  six  years  Lieutenant  Governor  of  Massachusetts,  and  for  many  years 
President  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  I  do  not  know  that  we  have 
had  in  New  England  so  remarkable  a  family  history — such  a  succession  of  men 
of  great  ability,  for  half  a  dozen  generations — ^graduates  of  Harvard  or  of  Tale; 
a  succession  which  shows  us  in  the  sixth  generation  one  of  the  most  eminent 
and  accomplished  men  of  bis  time — the  eloquent  orator,  the  statesman  of  broad 
and  comprehensive  views,  the  philanthropist,  the  man  of  letters. 

Mr.  Winthrop  entered  the  Boston  Latin  School  in  1818,  and  was  graduated 
at  Harvard  College  in  1828.  He  studied  Uw  in  the  office  of  Daniel  Webster,  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1831.  In  1834  he  was  chosen  a  representative  to  the 
General  Conrt,  and  four  years  later  was  elected  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives. He  was  a  member  of  Congress  for  ten  years  from  1840,  and  in 
1848-9  was  Speaker.  He  was  defeated  as  a  candidate  for  Speaker  in  1850,  by 
two  votes,  after  more  than  sixty  balloUngs.  The  same  year  he  was  appointed 
a  senator  by  Gov.  Davis  to  succeed  Daniel  Webster.  He  was  an  unsuccessful 
candidate  for  Governor  of  Massachusetts  in  1851,  and  in  1854  he  was  chosen 
one  of  the  Presidential  Electors.  This  was  the  last  political  office  which  he 
held. 

He  published  *'The  Life  and  Letters  of  John  Winthrop,"  in  two  volumes, 
and  three  large  volumes  of  speeches  and  addresses.  These  are  one  hundred 
and  eighty  in  number,  covering  the  period  from  1835  to  1879.  Among  the  most 
notable  of  bis  public  addresses  was  the  oration  on  the  laying  of  the  comer-stone 
of  the  National  Washington  Monument  in  1848;  on  the  Life  and  Services  of 
James  Bowdoin  in  1849 ;  the  Obligations  and  Responsibilities  of  Educated  Men, 
before  the  re-union  of  Harvard  University  in  1852,  and  the  oration  at  Torktown 
on  the  one-hundredth  anniversary  of  the  Surrender  of  Lord  ComwaUls.  The 
oration  on  the  completion  of  the  Washington  monument.  A  recent  privately 
printed  volume  of  reminiscences.  In  1845  be  made  bis  great  speech  in  Congress 
against  the  Annexation  of  Texas,  and  in  1850  he  delivered  his  last  important 
apeech  in  the  Senate  in  opposition  to  the  f  ngitive^lave  law.

82  Ifecrology  of  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  [Jan. 

Mr.  Wlnthrop  was  President  of  the  Massachasetts  Historical  Society  for 
thirty  years :  President  of  the  Peabody  Education  Fond ;  a  member  of  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society,  The  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  and  a  large 
number  of  other  societies. 

He  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  from  Bowdoin  College,  and  from 
Harvard  University,  and  at  a  later  date  from  the  University  of  Cambridge. 

Mr.  Winthrop  was  thrice  married.  Two  sons  and  a  daughter  by  his  first 
marriage  survive  him. 

At  the  meeting  of  this  Society  Dec.  5, 1894,  the  Hon.  Alexander  H.  Rice,  LL.D., 
made  some  remarks  on  Mr.  Winthrop's  character,  and  offered  the  following 
resolution,  which  was  passed : — 

Besolved,  That  the  New-England  Historic,  Genealogical  Society  desires  to 
place  upon  its  records  its  high  appreciation  of  and  testimony  to  the  exalted 
character,  intellectual  endowments  and  disinterested  usefulness  of  its  recent 
member,  the  Honorable  Robert  Charles  Winthrop,  whose  long  connection  with 
this  society  was  one  of  honor  and  usefulness ;  and  to  express  its  mournful 
sympathy  not  only  with  his  surviving  relatives,  but  with  the  people  of  Massa- 
chusetts and  of  the  whole  country,  in  the  loss  of  a  citizen  universally  beloved 
and  renowned. 

James  Anthony  Froude,  M.A.,  LL.D.,  of  London,  was  bom  In  Darlington* 
Devonshire,  England,  April  23,  1818,  and  died  October  20,  1894. 

Like  most  other  distinguished  literary  men  in  England,  of  this  generation,  Mr. 
Froude  was  very  much  interested  in  this  country.  He  made  two  visits  to  the 
United  States,  the  one  most  remembered  in  1872,  when  he  made  an  extended 
lecturing  tour.  He  was  a  membor  of  a  number  of  societies  in  America.  He 
was  elected  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society,  December  1,  1886,  and  an 
honorary  member  October  1,  1890. 

Mr.  Froude  was  the  son  of  a  clergyman.  Archdeacon  Froude,  of  Totnes,  and 
was  educated  at  the  Westminster  School,  and  at  Oxford,  where  he  took  his 
bachelor's  degree  in  1840,  and  won  the  Chancellor's  English  prize  essay  in  1842, 
the  subject  being  "  The  Influence  of  the  Science  of  Political  Economy  on  the 
Moral  and  Social  Welfare  of  the  Nation."  He  was  elected  to  a  Fellowship  in 
1842,  and  was  ordained  a  deacon  in  the  Established  Church  in  1844.  He  was  at 
•that  time  interested  in  the  tractarian  movement  at  Oxford  under  Newman,  and 
ithe  other  great  leaders,  and  he  contributed  to  its  literature  in  his  **  Lives  of 
•the  Saints."  But  there  came  a  sudden  change  after  a  few  years,  and  in  1848  he 
published  **  Nemesis  of  Faith,"  a  book  which  made  a  stir,  and  lost  its  author 
.the  Fellowship,  and  a  valuable  position  as  an  educator,  and  brought  him  the 
condemnation  of  the  Church.  He  had  little  interest  in  clerical  work  at  any  time, 
but  continued  **in  orders"  until  1872,  when  the  passage  of  the  Clerical  Disa- 
bilities Act  gave  him  the  occasion  for  a  formal  renunciation  of  the  ministry. 

For  the  li^er  part  of  his  life  Mr.  Froude  was  devoted  to  literature.  Few 
men  of  his  time  were  more  fully  equipped  than  he,  and  he  was  able  to  work  with 
^great  rapidity.  He  produced  a  large  number  of  books,  some  of  them  of  the 
first  rank.  He  made  his  mark  first  as  a  writer  for  Fraser's  Magazine,  and  his 
briUiant  articles  were  collected  in  the  volumes  entitled  *'  Short  Studies  on  Great 
Subjects,"  which  were  eagerly  read  by  thoughtful  young  men  twenty-five  years 
ago.  His  Magnum  Opus,  the  **  History  of  England  from  the  fall  of  Cardinal 
Wolsey  to  the  defeat  of  the  Spanish  Armada,  a  work  in  twelve  volumes, 
•occupied  him  about  fifteen  years,  to  the  year  1870.  These  volumes  arc  especi- 
ally valuable  for  the  minute  information  which  they  give  of  the  condition  of 
the  English  people  of  that  period,  and  for  the  abundant  use  which  he  made  of 
originiu  documents  from  the  English  Archives.  They  are  among  the  most  de- 
lightful histories  in  our  language,  although  they  have  not  led  the  readers  of 
h&tory  to  adopt  his  views  in  respect  to  Queen  Elizabeth,  or  to  reverse  their 
own  judgments  concerning  Henry  YIII.  A  recent  critic  has  said  that  "  Mr. 
Fronde's  portrait  of  the  King  represented  him  as  an  exemplary  gentleman  who 
had  six  very  bad  wives." 

Of  his  later  historical  works  I  should  mention  his  '*  Divorce  of  Catharine  of 
Arragon,"  the  "Spanish  Story  of  the  Armada,"  "Becket,"  "Caesar,"  "The 
English  in  Ireland  in  the  Eighteenth  Century,"  and  "  The  Life  of  Erasmus," 
published  just  before  his  death.  He  was  also  the  author  of  several  volumes  of 
a  diflbrent  character,  such  as- "  Oceanlca,"  a  narrative  of  his  voyage  to  Austra- 
lia; the  " English  in  the  West  Indies,"  "  John  Banyan,"  "Lord  Beaconsfield,

"Reminiscences  of  Thomas  Carlyle,"  **The  First  Forty  years  of  the  Life  of 
Thomas  Carlyle,"  and  **  Carlyle's  Life  in  London." 

Mr.  Fronde  deserves  to  rank  among  the  foremost  of  the  great  English  his- 
torians of  tliis  century,  Macaulay,  Stabbs,  Freeman,  and  Green,  all  of  whom  I 
believe  have  now  passed  away.  His  period  of  authorship  extended  over  fifty 
years,  and  the  number  of  his  volumes  was  not  much  short  of  sixty.  He  wrote 
too  rapidly  to  do  the  best  work.  He  was  industrious  and  enterprising  in  bis 
researches,  but  he  lacked  the  judicial  mind  so  essential  to  a  historian.  He  was 
constitutionally  a  partisan,  and  his  views  of  the  events  of  history  were  apt  to 
be  colored  by  his  personal  prejudices. 

He  was  made  the  rector  of  St.  Andrew's  in  1869 ;  and  he  was  appointed  by 
Lord  Salisbury  Regius  Professor  of  Modern  History  at  Oxford  in  1892,  after 
the  death  of  Prof.  E.  H.  Freeman,  who  had  succeeded  Prof.  Stubbs.  Lord 
Rosebery  will  not  find  it  an  easy  task  to  select  a  man  worthy  to  succeed,  in  that 
chair,  three  such  historians  as  Stubbs,  Freeman  and  Fronde. 

Francis  Minot  Weld,  A.M.,  M.D.,  of  Jamaica  Plain,  was  bom  in  Dalton, 
l^ew  Hampshire,  January  17,  1840,  and  died  at  Jamaica  Plain,  Massachusetts, 
December  31, 1893.  He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  Novem- 
ber 6,  1889,  the  second  of  the  same  name  on  our  roll. 

Dr.  Weld  traced  his  family  line  through  four  generations.  His  father  was 
Thomas  Swan  Weld,  of  Dalton,  N.  H.  His  grandfather  was  William  Gordon 
Weld.  His  great-grand-father  was  Eleazer  Weld.  And  his  ancestor  of  the 
next  generation  was  John  Weld.  His  parents  removed  from  New  Hampshire 
to  Jamaica  Plain  while  he  was  a  boy.  He  was  prepared  for  college  at  the  Eliot 
School,  and  entered  at  Harvard  College  in  1856.  He  was  graduated  with  high 
rank  in  1860.  He  entered  the  Medical  School  and  pursued  his  studies  there 
about  two  years,  when  he  entered  the  service  of  the  United  States  as  a 
surgeon.  He  served  at  the  Naval  Hospital,  Chelsea,  and  at  the  Port  Hospital, 
Grafton,  West  Virginia.  In  January,  1863,  he  was  assigned  to  the  monitor 
Nantucket.  In  December  he  was  ordered  to  the  frigate  Wabash.  He  thought  it 
best,  however,  to  resign  his  commission,  and  take  time  to  complete  his  medical 
studies.  He  was  graduated  in  March,  1864,  and  was  soon  after  commissioned 
as  a  snrgeon.  He  served  in  General  Grant's  campaigns  of  that  year.  He  was 
iidth  General  Terry's  corps  at  Fort  Fisher,  and  then  joined  General  Sherman's 
army  near  Raleigh.  He  was  at  different  times  brigade  and  division  surgeon, 
and  had  charge  of  various  field  and  port  hospitals. 

When  he  was  mustered  out  of  service,  September  21,  1865,  he  returned  to 
Jamaica  Plain  and  I)egan  the  practice  of  his  profession.  A  year  later  he  en- 
gaged in  business  in  New  York.  After  a  time  he  returned  to  the  practice  of 
medicine,  and  was  attending  and  consulting  physician  in  various  hospitals  and 
dispensaries. 

In  1872  (April  11)  he  married  Fanny  Elizabeth  Bartholomew,  who  survives 
him.    They  had  three  children,  two  sons  and  a  daughter. 

He  retired  from  practice  in  1887  and  made  his  home  in  Jamaica  Plain.  He 
was  a  meml)er  of  a  number  of  organizations,  to  which  he  gave  much  of  his 
time.  He  was  especially  active  in  the  formation  of  the  New  York  Harvard 
Club,  and  served  as  its  president.  From  1882  to  1889  he  was  an  overseer  of 
Harvard  College.    He  received  the  degree  of  M.A.  in  1871. 

Samuel  James  Bridge,  A.M.,  of  Boston,  a  resident  member  of  this  Society, 
was  bom  in  Boston,  June  1,  1809,  and  died  at  the  Norfolk  House,  Roxbury, 
November  6,  1898. 

Like  so  many  other  eminent  men  of  Boston,  Mr.  Bridge  was  descended  from 
a  Puritan  ancestry.  John  Bridge,  the  first  of  the  name  in  New  England,  came 
with  the  Braintree  Company,  and  was  assigned  to  Cambridge  in  1632.  He  was 
bom  in  Essex  County,  England,  about  the  year  1578.  He  was  a  near  kinsman 
of  a  distinguished  non-conformist  divine  of  Norwich,  who  was  an  author,  and 
a  prominent  member  of  the  Westminster  Assembly.  He  became  a  leading  man 
in  Cambridge, — was  the  first  deacon  of  the  church,  organized  in  1635 ;  and  was 
for  twelve  years  one  of  the  **  Townsmen,**  as  the  selectmen  were  then  called. 
In  1637  he  represented  the  town  in  the  legislature,  and  was  a  member  of  that 
body  four  successive  years.  He  was  frequently  employed  in  the  settlement  of 
estates,  and  in  determining  the  boundaries  of  towns.  The  subject  of  this  sketch 
pxesented  to  the  City  of  Cambridge  a  bronze  statue  of  his  ancestor,  the  old

Puritan,  which  stands  in  that  part  of  Cambridge  Common  near  the  janction  of 
North  Avenue  and  Waterhouse  Street,  looking  toward  the  College  grounds.  It 
is  believed  that  this  was  the  first  statue  of  a  Puritan  pioneer  erected  In  New 
England. 

The  five  generations  between  John  Bridge  and  Samuel  James  Bridge  included 
a  large  number  of  eminent  men.  Matthew  of  the  second  generation  lived  in 
Lexington,  and  was  a  large  landholder  there,  and  an  active  and  pabUc-spirited 
citizen.  His  son  was  a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  war,  and  was  prominent  in  the 
church  and  in  his  native  town.  One  of  them  was  a  pioneer  in  the  settlement 
of  Dresden,  Maine.  The  Bridge  Genealogy  includes  in  its  direct  and  collateral 
branches,  **  eminent  lawyers,  clergymen,  physicians,  an  attorney  general  of  the 
United  States,  Judges  of  the  highest  courts,  foreign  ministers,  a  member  of  the 
cabinet,  and  a  president  of  the  United  States. 

Samuel  James  Bridge  was  the  son  of  Samuel  Bridge,  who  was  bom  in  Dres- 
den, Maine,  November  U,  1778.  He  lived  in  Boston  for  many  years,  and  was 
a  member  of  the  firm  of  Shaw,  Baker  &  Bridge.  Later  in  life  he  removed  to 
his  native  town  of  Dresden,  Maine.  His  son  Samuel  James  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools,  and  was  ^ent  at  the  age  of  twelve  to  Wiscasset,  Maine,  and 
placed  under  the  tuition  of  Rev.  Dr.  Packard.  He  completed  his  preparation 
for  college  in  the  Latin  School  in  Boston,  but  the  lack  of  money  prevented  him 
from  entering.  He  became  a  business  man  in  Boston,  and  accumulated  a  large 
fortune,  which  he  used  in  promoting  various  important  public  enterprises.  In 
1841  he  was  appointed  Principal  Appraiser  in  the  Custom  House  in  Boston. 
After  twelve  years'  service  there  he  was  made  Appraiser  General  of  the  Pacific 
Coast,  and  continued  to  serve  seven  and  a  half  years.  His  work  consisted  of 
the  supervision  of  all  the  customs  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  including  Calif omia, 
Oregon  and  Washington. 

He  retired  from  business  a  number  of  years  ago,  and  spent  his  summers  at 
the  old  home  in  Dresden,  Maine.  He  travelled  extensively  in  all  parts  of  the 
World. 

He  was  never  married.  Harvard  College  conferred  upon  him  the  degree  of 
Master  of  Arts  in  1880. 

David  Brain ard  Weston,  of  Charlestown,  Massachusetts,  was  born  in  Lon- 
donderry, Vermont,  May  29,  1815,  and  died  in  Boston,  Dec.  22,  1893.  He  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools,  and  at  Lawrence  Academy,  Groton.  His  father 
died  when  he  was  very  young,  and  he  was  left,  more  than  most  young  men,  to 
make  his  own  way  in  the  world.  He  became  a  useful  and  prosperous  citizen 
of  Charlestown,  and  was  elected  to  positions  of  responsibility  and  of  honor 
from  year  to  year,  until  Charlestown  became  a  part  of  Boston.  He  married 
Lucy  Hutchinson,  daughter  of  Dr.  Hezekiah  and  Lucy  Hutchinson,  May  80, 
1863.    They  had  one  son.  Rev.  Henry  C.  Weston. 

He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  April  5,  1882. 

Edward  Duffield  Nbill,  A.B.,  D.D.,  of  Minneapolis,  a  corresponding  mem- 
ber of  this  Society,  elected  February  7,  1877,  was  bom  in  Philadelphia,  August 
9, 1823,  and  died  in  Minneapolis,  Minnesota,  September  26,  1893.  He  was  the 
son  of  Dr.  Henry  NeiU  and  Maria  Dufiield.  His  grandfather,  also  a  physician, 
was  Dr.  John  Neill,  whose  father,  John  Neill,  an  Irish  lawyer,  settled  in  Lewis 
County,  Delaware,  in  1739. 

He  entered  upon  his  college  course  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  but  was 

fraduated  at  Amherst  CoUcge  in  1842.  He  was  a  student  at  Andover  Theological 
eminary  one  year,  and  completed  his  theological  studies  under  Rev.  Albert 
Barnes  and  Rev.  Dr.  Thomas  Brainard  of  Philadelphia.  He  was  ordained  in 
Illinois,  April  26, 1848,  and  organized  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in  St.  Paul, 
Minnesota,  in  1849,  and  remained  its  pastor  till  1855.  In  later  years  he  left  the 
Presbyterian  Church  and  was  connected  with  the  Reformed  Episcopal  Church. 

The  most  important  work  of  his  life  was  done  in  connection  with  schools  and 
colleges,  and  with  historical  literatnre.  He  took  the  lead  in  establishing  schools 
in  St.  Paul,  and  in  1853  founded  the  Baldwin  School,  and  later  the  College  of 
St.  Paul,  of  which  he  was  president.  He  was  chancellor  of  the  University  of 
Minnesota,  1858-61.  During  the  War  he  served  as  chaplain  of  a  Minnesota 
Regiment,  and  In  1864  he  became  one  of  President  Lincoln's  private  secretaries. 
In  1869  he  was  appointed  consul  to  Dublin,  Ireland.  He  resigned  this  position 
after  two  years,  and  returned  to  his  adopted  State.    He  founded  ICacaUster  Col-

l^e  and  was  its  president  from  1872  to  1884.  Later  he  senred  the  same  collie 
as  professor  of  History,  Literature  and  Political  Bconomy.  He  was  an  enter- 
prising and  successful  president  and  professor. 

He  became  known  as  an  author  early  in  life.  In  1858  he  published  a  '*  History 
of  Minnesota.**  In  1867  he  published  **  Threads  of  Maryland  Colonial  History.** 
The  next  year  he  brought  out  **  Virginia  Vetusta";  and  in  1871  "  English  Col- 
onization of  America";  in  1876  ** Founders  of  Maryland**;  in  1885  **  Virginia 
Under  James  the  First  ** ;  and  the  next  year  **  Virginia  Carolorum.**  He  was  a 
prominent  member  of  the  Minnesota  Historical  Society,  and  made  many  contri- 
bations  to  its  publications. 

Lafayette  CoU^e  conferred  upon  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  DiTinity  in 
1866. 

Dr.  NeiU  married  Nancy  Hall,  of  Snow  Hill,  Maryland,  October  4,  1847,  who 
smrives  him. 

Joseph  Burnktt,  Esq.,  a  life  member,  elected  June  7,  1876,  was  bom  in 
Southborough,  Massachusetts,  November  11,  1820.  He  was  one  of  five  chil- 
dren of  Charles  and  Keziah  (Pond)  Burnett,  and  passed  the  first  few  years  of  his 
life  in  the  old  homestead  near  Southville.  He  receired  his  early  ^ncation  in 
the  district  schools  of  his  native  town  and  afterwards  attended  the  English  and 
Latin  School,  at  Worcester,  where  he  lived  for  two  years  after  he  was  fifteen. 

In  1837,  he  moved  to  Boston  and  was  associated  as  clerk  and  as  partner  with 
Theodore  Metcalf  on  Tremont  street.  He  left  this  business  in  1854  and  estab- 
lished the  well  known  firm  of  manufacturing  chemists,  Joseph  Burnett  &  Co., 
at  27  Central  Street. 

In  1848,  he  married  Josephine,  daughter  of  Edward  and  Ruth  (Torrey)  Cutter 
of  Boston,  by  whom  he  had  twelve  children :  1.  Edward,  Harvard  *71 ;  Repre- 
sentative in  Congress  1886-88 ;  married  Mabel,  daughter  and  only  child  of  Hon. 
James  RusseU  Lowell.  2.  Harry,  Harvard  *73,  and  3.  Robert  Manton,  assoc- 
iated in  business  with  their  father.  The  latter  married  Margaret  Hall.  4.  Rev.

of  Boston.  11.  Louisa,  wife  of  Charles  F.  Choate,  Jr.  12.  Elinor,  at  home;

In  1850,  he  built  **  Deerfoot,**  on  the  extensive  lands  of  Deerfoot  Farm  which 
he  then  owned,  and  on  which  he  kept  one  of  the  finest  herds  of  Jersey  cows  in 
this  country.  He  was  a  pioneer  in  high-bred  stock  and  was  among  the  first 
importers  from  the  Channel  Islands. 

In  1862,  he  built  and  gave  to  the  parish  the  stone  Church  of  St.  Mark*s,  in  the 
centre  of  the  village  of  Southborough.  An  ardent  churchman,  he  soon  after- 
wards founded  and  gave  St.  Biark*s  School,  a  school  for  boys  under  Church 
management.  Mr.  Burnett  was  during  his  life  vestryman  of  St.  Paul's,  Hopkin- 
ton ;  St.  John's,  Framingham ;  Holy  Trinity,  Marlborough ;  and  was  a  member 
of  the  original  corporation  of  the  Church  of  the  Advent,  Boston. 

In  1878  and  1879,  he  was  president  of  the  Boston  Druggists*  Association. 
He  was  appointed  prison  commissioner  by  Governor  Rice,  and  was  chairman 
of  that  boidy  which  built  the  Reformatory  Prison  for  Women  at  Sherbom.  It 
would  be  impossible,  in  so  short  a  notice,  to  speak  of  the  many  offices  he  haa 
held. 

He  died  from  the  effects  of  a  carriage  accident  on  Saturday,  August  11,  1894, 
and  was  buried  in  the  churchyard  of  the  church  he  built,  on  Wednesday,  August 
15th,  when  the  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  and  many  distinguished  clergy  and  Uity 
were  present.  Mr.  Burnett's  life  was  one  constant  effort  to  do  good  and  to 
benefit  his  fellowmen.  He  will  long  be  remembered  as  a  sincere  and  devout 
churchman,  a  strictly  honorable  man  of  business,  a  liberal  promoter  of  higli- 
dass  education,  a  most  generous  friend  of  the  poor  and  oppressed  whom  he 
never  failed  to  help  with  counsel  and  money.  It  has  been  written  of  him  that 
he  leaves  behind  him  a  record  without  a  blot.

oUtion  of  the  son  with  the  red  men  donbtless  had  much  to  do  with  his  hiter 
interest  in  the  study  of  the  Indian  dialects.  His  mother,  before  her  marriage 
Cliarity  Maria  Norton  of  Goshen,  Connecticnt,  traced  her  descent  from  John 
Mason,  the  famous  captain  in  the  Pequot  war.  Her  father,  Ebenezer  Norton, 
and  her  grandfather,  Colonel  Ebenezer  Norton,  served  in  the  War  of  the  Revo- 
lution. Both  parents  of  Professor  Horsiord  were  persons  of  strong  character 
and  generous  spirit,  and  exerted  decided  influence  for  good  in  the  young  com- 
munity where  they  had  made  their  home.  The  mother  especially  seems  to  have 
had  much  literary  taste  and  fondness  for  books.  The  son  inherited  these  ten- 
dencies, and  was  known  among  his  playmates  as  a  marvel  of  general  information. 
It  was  his  favorite  amusement  to  collect  the  fossils  which  abounded  on  his 
father's  farm.  He  was  sent  to  the  best  schools,  and  at  the  age  of  nineteen 
graduated  as  a  civil  engineer  from  the  Rensselaer  Institute  of  Troy,  New  Yoii:. 
He  was  then  employed  on  the  Geological  Survey  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and 
from  1840  to  18i4  was  Professor  of  Mathematics  and  the  Natural  Sciences  in 
the  Albany  Female  Academy.  One  of  the  most  highly  valued  of  the  tokens  of 
success  which  from  time  to  time  came  to  him,  was  a  gold  medal,  received  in 
1841,  from  the  Young  Men's  Association  of  Albany,  for  a  prize  essay  on  **  The 
Mechanical  Powers."  In  December,  1844,  he  went  to  Germany  to  study  chem- 
istry, and  spent  two  years  at  Giessen  under  Baron  Liebig.  On  returning  to 
America  he  was  elected  to  the  Rumford  Professorship  of  the  Application  of 
Science  to  the  Useful  Arts,  in  Harvard  University.  He  filled  this  position  with 
enthusiasm  and  success  for  sixteen  years.  His  investigations  in  chemistry  led 
to  inventions,  which  proved  to  be  of  large  use  and  of  great  commercial  value, 
and  in  1863  he  retired  from  the  Rumford  Professorship  and  gave  his  attention 
to  manufactures  based  upon  these  inventions.  In  1847  he  was  elected  a  Resi- 
dent Fellow  of  the  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences.  His  election  as  a 
Resident  Member  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  was  in 
1860.  In  1878,  he  was  United  States  Commissioner  to  the  Vienna  Exhibition. 
In  1876,  he  served  as  a  Juror  at  the  Centennial  Exhibition  at  Philadelphia.  He 
was  twice  appointed  an  Examiner  of  the  United  States  Mint.  He  was  one  of 
the  board  of  managers  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution.  He  visited  Norway  in 
1880,  and  was  at  Carlsbad  in  1890.  After  leaving  the  Rumford  Professorship 
he  continued  to  reside  in  Cambridge  until  his  death,  January  1,  1898. 

Professor  Horsford  married  in  1847,  Mary  L'Hommedieu  Gardiner,  daughter 
of  Hon.  Samuel  Smith  Gardiner  of  Shelter  Island,  New  York.  Four  daughters 
were  bom  of  this  marriage,  Lilian,  Mary  Katharine,  Gertrude  Hubbard,  who 
muTied  Andrew  Fiske,  Esq.  of  Boston,  and  Mary  Gardiner,  who  married  the 
late  Judge  Benjamin  R.  Curtis,  and  herself  died  in  1893.  Mrs.  Mary  L'H.  Hors- 
ford died  in  1856.  In  1857  Professor  Horsford  married  her  sister,  Phoebe  Day- 
ton Gardiner,  who  survives  him.  The  only  child  of  this  marriage  is  a  daughter, 
Cornelia.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  Gardiner,  his  large  estate  at  Shelter  Island 
came  into  the  possession  of  Professor  Horsford,  and  he  usually  spent  his  sum- 
mers there,  in  the  old  manor-house.  He  interested  himself  in  studying  the  an- 
tiquities of  the  island,  and  erected  a  monument  to  the  Quakers  who  found 
shelter  there  from  Puritan  persecution.  In  the  comparative  leisure  of  his  later 
years,  he  became  deeply  interested  in  endeavoring  to  trace  the  routes  of  the 
Northmen,  who  early  visited  this  continent.  With  unwearied  zeal  and  patience 
he  studied  the  sagas,  pored  over  the  ancient  charts,  explored  the  coast  of  New 
England,  and  at  length  became  assured  that  he  found  in  Cambridge  the  location 
of  the  house  built  by  Leif  Ericson,  and  that  at  Watertown  on  the  Charles  River 
he  discovered  the  long  lost  Norumbega,  the  settlement  of  the  Icelandic  voyagers 
who  after  Leif  Ericson  visited  Yinland.  Here  he  erected  a  substantial  stone 
tower  to  mark  the  spot.  The  results  of  his  researches  in  this  direction  were 
embodied  in  a  series  of  monographs,  richly  illustrated  with  copies  of  ancient 
charts  and  maps.  In  1891,  the  Scandinavian  societies  of  North  America,  in 
testimony  of  their  appreciation  of  Professor  Horsford's  elTorts  to  demonstrate 
the  discovery  and  colonization  of  America  by  the  Northmen,  presented  him  in 
their  annual  assembly,  an  engrossed  address,  framed  in  wood  from  Norway, 
daborately  carved  by  a  Norwegian  lady.  In  1892  the  King  of  Denmark  created 
him  a  Knight  Commander  of  the  third  grade  of  the  Order  of  Dannebrog.  In 
the  same  spirit  the  Scandinavian  societies  of  Boston  united  in  a  special  memorial 
service  for  Professor  Horsford  a  few  weeks  after  his  decease. 

His  publications  include  the  following  volumes : — **  Discovery  of  America  by 
Northmen,"  with  illustrations  and  maps;  **  Discovery  of  the  Ancient  City  of

NcNrQiDbega,''  with  map  and  phototypes ;  *'  The  Probtem  of  the  Northmen,"  with 
phototypes  and  maps;  *'The  Defenses  of  Norambega,"  with  100  maps  and  90 
heUotypes;  "The  Landfall  of  Leif  Erikson";  *'Leirs  House  hi  Vhieland,'* 
published  since  his  decease.  Two  other  volnmee  are  yet  to  be  published  onder 
the  care  of  Miss  ComeUa  Horsford.  Besides  tliese  Tolames  he  published  a 
lani^e  number  of  pamphlets,  and  printed  articles  in  the  scientific  periodicals. 
When  the  Cochituate  water  was  introduced  in  Boston,  he  prepared  a  paper  con- 
taining the  results  of  an  exhaustive  investigation  into  the  best  material  for 
water-pipes,  and  when  he  refused  to  receive  pecuniary  compensation  was  pra- 
sented  by  the  city  with  a  handsome  service  of  plate. 

He  made  generous  use  of  the  wealth  which  came  to  him  as  the  fruit  of  his 
chemical  inventions.  Wellesley  College  was,  so  far  as  is  known,  the  object  of 
his  largest  benefactions.  He  was,  from  the  beginning,  president  of  its  Board 
of  Visitors.  He  established  there,  by  a  large  endowment,  the  system  already 
known  at  Harvard  University,  by  which  the  leading  professors,  without  loss  of 
salary,  are  to  have  every  seventh  year  as  a  period  of  rest  and  European  travel. 
He  enlarged  and  endowed  the  library,  provided  a  fund  for  scientific  apparatus, 
and  in  many  other  ways  studied  to  promote  the  attractiveness  and  efficiency  of 
the  institution. 

Professor  Horsford  was  a  cheerful,  cordial,  genial  man.  His  high  sense  of 
honor,  his  large-hearted  and  generous  public  spirit,  his  unquestioned  honesty  of 
purpose, — these  are  among  the  characteristics  which  impressed  those  wlio  knew 
him.  He  was  an  enthusiastic  teacher,  an  ingenious  and  persistent  investigator, 
a  devout  Christian,  a  man  who  sought  to  make  life  brighter  to  his  fellow  men.

General  Edward  Winslow  Hincks  was  bom  in  Bucksport,  Maine,  May  30, 
1830.  His  father  was  Elisha  Hincks.  His  mother  was,  l)efore  her  marriage, 
Elizabeth  Hopkins  Wentworth. 

He  could  trace  bis  descent  through  the  Winslows  to  the  Mayfiower.  He  re- 
ceived a  common  school  education  in  his  native  town,  and  at  the  age  of  fifteen 
went  to  Bangor,  where  from  1845  to  1849  he  was  an  apprentice  in  a  printing 
office.  He  then  went  to  Boston,  and  was  in  the  printing  and  publishing  busi- 
ness until  1856,  when  he  was  appointed  to  a  position  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary 
of  the  Commonwealth,  and  prepared  for  publication  the  State  Census  of  1855. 
He  was  a  representative  from  Boston  in  the  Legislature  of  1855,  and  was  also 
a  member  of  the  City  Council  from  Ward  3.  In  1856  he  removed  to  Lynn,  still 
retaining  his  position  in  the  Secretary's  office,  and  studying  law  with  the  en- 
couragement and  assistance  of  Hon.  Anson  Burlingame.  In  1859  he  was  ap- 
IK>lnt^  adjutant  of  the  Eighth  Regiment  of  Massachusetts  militia. 

In  December,  1860,  when  Major  Anderson  was  holding  Fort  Moultrie  and 
expecting  attack  by  the  forces  of  South  Carolina,  Mr.  Hincks  ofl'ered  his  services 
for  the  defence  of  the  Fort  in  a  letter  which  brought  grateful  acknowledgment 
from  Major  Anderson.  On  this  ground  Gen.  Hincks  has  been  spoken  of  as  the 
first  volunteer  of  the  war.  April  15th,  1861.  on  receipt  of  the  news  of  the  capture 
of  Fort  Sumter  and  of  President  Lincoln's  call  for  troops,  Mr.  Hincks  hastened 
to  Boston  and  urged  the  Governor  to  accept  the  Eighth  Regiment  as  part  of  the 
Massachusetts  quota  of  1,500  men  called  for  by  the  President.  Gov.  Andrew 
accepted  the  proposal,  and  Mr.  Hincks  rode  the  same  evening  to  Lynn,  Salem, 
Beverly  and  Marblehead,  and  sent  messages  to  Newbnryport  and  Gloucester, 
notifying  the  men  to  rendezvous  in  Boston.  The  next  morning,  April  16th,  he 
marched  into  Faneuil  Hall  with  the  three  companies  from  Marblehead.  On  the 
17th  he  was  commissioned  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  Eighth  Regiment,  and  on 
the  18th  left  with  the  regiment  for  Washington.  Three  days  later  a  detachment 
from  his  regiment,  under  his  command,  boarded  the  frigate  Constitution,  Ijring 
aground  at  Anni^jolls,  lightened  her  of  her  guns,  fioated  her  and  worked  her  to 
sea.  The  next  day,  with  a  picked  detachment  from  his  regiment,  he  took  pos- 
session of  the  rolling  stock  of  the  Baltimore  and  Washington  Railroad.  The 
engines  had  been  disabled  and  the  tracks  torn  up,  but  the  skilled  mechanics  of 
his  command  soon  put  the  engines  and  road  in  running  order.  For  these  ser- 
vices Col.  Hincks  and  his  regiment  received  the  thanks  of  Congress.  April  26th 
he  reached  Washington,  and  was  the  same  day  appointed  second  lieutenant  of 
cavalry  in  the  regular  army,  that  being  the  only  grade  In  which  an  officer  could 
enter  the  regular  service  at  that  time. 

The  principal  engagements  in  which  Gen.  Hincks  participated  were  the  battle 


88  Uecrology  of  Historic  OenecUogical  Society.  [Jan. 

of  Ball's  Bluff,  the  Biege  of  Yorktown,  the  battles  of  West  Point,  Fair  Oaks, 
Oak  Grove,  Peach  Orchard,  White  Oak  Swamp,  Chantilly,  South  Moantain, 
Antletam,  and  the  assault  on  Petersbarg,  Jane  15.  1864.  He  was  wounded  at 
White  Oak  Swamp,  and  at  Antletam  was  carried  off  the  field,  supposed  to  be 
mortally  wounded.  After  this  battle  he  was  brevetted  colonel  in  the  regular 
army,  and  after  the  assault  on  Petersburg  he  received  the  brevet  of  brlgiuiler- 
general  in  the  regular  army.  After  the  close  of  the  war,  retaining  his  position 
in  the  army,  he  held  important  commands  until  December,  1870,  when  he  was 
retired  from  active  service  for  disability  resulting  from  his  wounds.  In  1866, 
his  home  was  changed  from  Lynn  to  Cambridge,  Mass.  From  1870  to  1880,  he 
held  the  position  of  governor  of  the  Soldiers'  Homes,  first  at  Hampton,  Vir- 
ginia, and  then  at  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin.  After  his  return  to  Cambridge  he 
was  repeatedly  chosen  on  the  Board  of  Aldermen  of  the  city.  He  was  twice 
married,  and  had  two  children,  but  neither  wife  nor  child  survives  him.  A 
yery  lovely  and  brilliant  daughter,  Bessie  Hlncks,  a  student  at  the  Harvard  An- 
nex, now  Radcliffe  College,  died  in  1885,  at  the  age  of  twenty.  Gen.  Hincks 
left  by  will  to  Radcliffe  College  a  library  fund  in  memory  of  his  daughter. 

The  only  near  relative  that  survives  him  is  an  older  brother,  Capt.  Elisha 
Hincks,  who  as  well  as  Gen.  Hincks  was  dangerously  wounded  at  Antletam, 
and  who  faithfully  nursed  the  General  in  the  last  months  of  his  life. 

General  Hincks  died  Feb.  14,  1H94,  after  a  long  and  painful  illness,  resulting 
from  the  wounds  received  in  battle.  He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this 
Society,  Jan.  3,  1872.

Jambs  Wheaton  Converse  was  bom  in  Thompson,  Connecticut,  Jan.  11, 
1808.  When  he  was  six  years  old  he  removed  with  his  parents  to  Woodstock, 
Conn.,  and  two  years  later  to  Dover,  Mass.,  and  from  there  to  Needham,  Mass. 
At  the  age  of  thirteen  he  came  to  Boston,  a  slender  lad,  but  full  of  energy  and 
ambition.  His  uncles,  Joseph  and  Benjamin  Converse,  gave  him  employment, 
and  seven  years  later  assisted  him  to  commence  business  for  himself  in  the 
Boylston  Market.  In  1832,  he  entered  into  partnership  with  William  Hard  wick 
in  the  boot,  shoe  and  leather  business.  In  1833,  he  joined  Isaac  Field  to 
conduct  a  hide  and  leather  business  at  43  and  45  Broad  St.,  under  the  firm 
name  of  Field  &  Converse.  Five  years  later  Isaac  Field  retired,  and  his  brother 
John  Field  took  his  place.  For  nearly  forty  years  the  firm  of  Field  &  Converse 
was  widely  known  and  honored  in  this  country  and  abroad.  In  1870  Mr.  Con- 
verse retired  from  the  business  to  give  attention  to  his  growing  railroad,  bank- 
ing, real  estate  and  other  interests. 

He  was  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Mechanics  Bank  of  Boston,  from  its 
organization  in  1836,  and  its  president  from  1847  to  1886.  In  1870  he  was  ap- 
pointed receiver  of  the  old  Hartford  and  Erie  Railroad,  now  the  New  York  and 
New  England,  and  piloted  that  corporation  through  a  perilous  time.  He  was 
at  a  later  day  president  of  the  Boston  Rubber  Shoe  Company,  of  the  Colorado 
Smelting  Company,  and  of  the  Boston  Land  Company.  He  had  large  invest- 
ments at  the  West,  especially  in  and  around  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan. 

Mr.  Converse  married  in  1833,  Emeline  Coolldge,  daughter  of  Nathan  Coolidge 
of  Boston.  She  died  a  few  years  before  her  husband.  They  had  three  children, 
James  W.  Converse,  Jr.,  who  was  a  lieutenant  in  the  24th  Massachusetts  Regi- 
ment in  the  late  war,  and  who  died  in  1876 ;  Costello  Coolidge  Converse ;  and 
Emma  Maria  Converse.  At  the  age  of  thirteen,  Mr.  Converse  Joined  the  Charles 
Street  Baptist  Church  in  Boston.  He  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the 
Federal  Street  Church,  and  in  1837  became  one  of  its  deacons,  an  office  which 
he  held  also  in  other  churches  with  which  he  was  afterwards  connected.  At 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  senior  deacon  of  the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Bos- 
son.  He  was  chosen  a  resident  member  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genea- 
ological  Society,  June  1,  1870. 

Dca.  Converse  was  liberal  in  his  gifts  to  the  needy  and  to  educational  and  be- 
nevolent institutions.  It  has  been  said  that  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life  he  gave 
away  not  less  than  fifty  thousand  dollars  a  year.  But  more  than  this, — he  gave 
his  time,  his  effort,  his  sympathy  In  large  measure.  He  died  at  Swampscott, 
Aug.  26,  1894.  He  leaves  behind  an  honored  name,  a  fragrant  memory,  and  a 
noble  example.

Colonel  Chablbs  Colcock  Jokbs,  Jr.,  LL.D.,  was  born  in  Savannah, 
Oeor^a,  Oct.  20,  1831,  and  died  at  his  home,  Montrose,  near  Angnsta,  Georg^ 
July  19,  1893.  He  was  the  son  of  the  Rev.  Cliarles  Colcock  Jones,  D.D.,  a 
distinguished  writer  and  minister  of  the  Southern  Presbyterian  Church.  His 
great-grandfather,  Major  John  Jones,  served  in  the  revolutionary  army,  and 
lost  liis  life  at  the  siege  of  Savannah  in  1779.  He  graduated  at  Princeton  Col- 
lege in  1852,  and  at  the  law  school  of  Harvard  University  in  1855.  Returning 
to  Savannah,  he  entered  uiK>n  the  practice  of  his  profession,  and  soon  became  a 
leader  at  the  bar.  He  enjoyed  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens 
to  a  degree  amounting  to  positive  affection,  resulting  in  his  elevation  to  the 
mayoralty  in  1860.  At  the  end  of  his  term  in  1861,  the  state  of  the  country  was 
such  that  he  preferred  to  serve  his  section  of  the  dissolved  Union  in  a  military 
capacity,  and  declining  a  second  nomination  as  mayor,  he  entered  the  service  of 
the  Confederate  States  as  an  officer  of  the  Chatham  Artillery.  During  the  whole 
of  the  war  he  was  connected  with  the  ordnance  department  of  tlie  service, 
holding  at  the  close  of  hostilities  the  office  of  Chief  of  Artillery  for  the  military 
district  of  Georgia  and  the  third  military  district  of  South  Carolina,  with  the 
rank  of  colonel.  His  knowledge  of  what  took  place  in  the  section  of  country 
over  which  his  command  extended,  is  well  displayed  in  his  excellent  account  of 
the  siege  of  Savannah  in  Deceml>er,  1864,  and  other  writings  of  his  which  re- 
late to  that  period  of  our  country's  history. 

After  the  war  Col.  Jones  removed  to  New  York,  and  was  engaged  in  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  there  until  1877,  when  he  returned  to  Georgia,  and  was  In 
legal  practice  at  Augusta  till  the  end  of  his  life.  His  career  as  a  writer  on 
arctueologlcal  and  historical  subjects  began  in  the  year  1859.  when  he  delivered 
the  address  at  the  twentieth  anniversary  of  the  Georgia  Historical  Society,  of 
which  he  was  then  a  meml>er,  and  which  he  subsequently  served  as  correspond- 
ing secretary  for  several  years.  His  subject  on  that  occasion  was  '*  The  Indian 
Remains  in  Southern  Georgia.**  From  that  time  until  his  death  he  was  pretty 
constantly  engaged  in  literary  work  of  some  sort.  A  list  of  his  very  numerous 
published  works  may  be  found  In  the  annual  reports  of  the  American  Historical 
Association,  1889-1893.  The  most  important  of  them  are:  **  History  of  Geor- 
gia"; **Dead  Towns  of  Georgia**;  ''Antiquities  of  the  Southern  Indians'*; 
"Myths  from  the  Georgia  Coast**;  **Life  of  Commodore  Josiah  Tatnall**; 
'*  Historical  Sketch  of  the  Chatham  Artillery**;  '*  Ancient  Tumuli  on  the  Savan- 
nah River**;  **  Siege  of  Savannah  in  1779  **;  **  Siege  of  Savannah  in  December, 
1864**;  '' Historical  Sketch  of  Tomo-chl-chi  ** ;  **  Biographical  Sketches  of  the 
Delegates  from  Georgia  to  the  Continental  Congress.**  Two  volumes  of  his 
History  of  Georgia  were  published  in  1883,  bringing  the  narrative  down  to  the 
erection  of  Georgia  into  an  independent  State.  He  had  collected  the  materials 
for  two  other  volumes  which  would  '*  deal  with  Georgia  as  a  Commonwealth." 
Besides  the  reputation  which  he  acquired  as  a  lawyer  and  a  man  of  letters. 
Colonel  Jones  was  known  as  an  Indefatigable  collector  of  autographs,  and  of 
objects  of  interest  in  the  field  of  archieology.  He  was  a  useful  member  of 
many  of  the  historical  and  scientific  societies  in  this  country  and  in  Europe. 
His  connection  with  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  as  a  cor- 
responding member,  dated  from  April  4,  1883.  He  was  married  twice :  in  No- 
vember, 1858,  to  Miss  Ruth  Berrien  Whitehead,  who  after  a  short  period  of 
married  life,  died  leaving  a  daughter ;  and  in  October,  1863,  to  her  cousin.  Miss 
Eva  Berrien  Eve,  by  whom  he  had  a  son. 

As  has  been  well  said  of  him,  **  he  was  a  gallant  soldier,  a  fine  jurist,  an  able 
writer  and  a  brilliant  schoUr.**

WiLUAM  Frederick  Poole,  LL.D.,  a  corresponding  member,  elected  Feb.  1, 
1882,  was  bom  in  Salem,  Mass.,  December  24,  1821,  the  son  of  Ward  and  Eliza 
(Wilder)  Poole,  being  descended  from  John  Poole,  who  in  1635  was  the  leading 
proprietor  of  Reading  in  the  same  state.  Ward  Poole  had  one  daughter  and  six 
sons,  of  whom  William  was  the  second,  the  third  being  Henry  Ward  Poole 
(A.M.  Tale),  who  was  for  many  years  professor  In  the  National  College  of 
Mines  in  the  City  of  Mexico,  and  was  a  recognized  authority  on  the  physical 
properties  of  musical  sounds. 

William  attended  the  common  schools  of  Danvers.  to  which  town  the  portion 
of  Salem  in  which  he  was  born  was  soon  afterwards  set  off,  and  prepared  for

college  at  Leicester  Academj.  He  entered  Tale  College  in  1842,  bnt  his  studies 
being  Intermitted  for  three  years,  while  be  taught  school  to  earn  money  for 
their  completion,  he  graduated  in  1849,  President  Timothy  Dwlght  being  a 
classmate. 

His  life  work  was  determined,  perhi^s  not  consciously,  while  he  was  only  a 
sophomore  in  college,  by  his  becoming  assistant  librarian  and  then  librarian  of 
bis  society,  the  Brothers  in  Unity.  Developing  in  his  work  as  a  student,  the 
disposition,  so  characteristic  of  his  literary  work  in  later  years,  to  erplore  new 
territory,  his  attention  was  soon  called  to  the  great  amount  of  valuable  materlid 
contained  in  the  bound  sets  of  reviews,  with  which  the  Brothers'  library  was 
well  furnished,  and  to  the  need  of  some  key  to  their  contents.  Without  thought 
of  Its  publication  he  commenced  an  index  to  these  periodicals,  and  working  with 
his  customary  diligence  soon  completed  it.  A  demand  immediately  arose  for 
its  publication,  and  the  first  edition  appeared  In  1848,  while  he  was  a  junior. 
The  work  attracted  much  attention  in  Europe  as  well  as  in  this  country,  and 
Mr.  Poole  was  soon  induced  to  begin  the  preparation  of  a  much  enlarged  edition. 
In  1851  he  became  assistant  librarian  (under  Charles  Folsom)  of  the  Boston 
Athenaeum,  and  In  1853  librarian  of  the  Mercantile  Library  of  Boston.  In  the 
same  year  the  second  edition  of  his  Index  was  published,  a  large  octavo  of  530 
pages.  In  1855  he  was  recalled  to  the  Athenaeum  as  librarian,  where  he  re- 
mained until  1868.  Engaging  for  some  months  in  special  work  as  a  library 
expert,  he  assisted  In  the  organization  of  several  libraries,  and  in  1869  became 
librarian  of  the  Cincinnati  Public  Library,  which  he  left  in  1873  to  undertake 
the  building  up  of  the  Chicago  Public  Library.  His  work  in  that  position  was 
a  marked  success,  and  led  to  his  being  appointed  in  1887  to  take  charge  of  the 
new  Newberry  Library  in  Chicago.  The  selection  and  purchase  of  this  flue 
library  and  the  planning  of  the  building  gave  full  scope  to  his  ripened  powers, 
and  was  a  fitting  crown  to  his  life  work.  He  was  quite  suddenly  called  away 
just  after  he  had  superintended  the  removal  of  the  books  to  the  new  building. 
The  third  edition  of  his  Index  was  published  In  1882,  with  the  collaboration 
of  many  other  librarians,  a  truly  monumental  work  of  nearly  1500  pages,  fol- 
lowed since  by  two  *•  five-year"  supplements. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders,  and  for  two  years  president,  of  the  American 
Library  Association,  and  a  constant  contributor  to  its  organ,  the  Library  Jour* 
wUf  and  was  looked  to  as  a  leading  authority  on  all  library  matters.  He  did 
more  than  any  one  else  to  revolutionize  library  architecture  in  the  Interest  of 
convenient  arrangement,  wholesomeness  for  the  occupants,  and  good  light. 
But  with  all  this  work  in  his  chosen  profession.  Dr.  Poole  combined  a  constant 
succession  of  literary  labors.  He  hfid  a  keen  relish  for  the  study  of  obscure 
and  controverted  points  in  American  history,  and  became  a  pioneer  in  the  field 
of  exact  and  scientific  historiography.  In  Ford's  Bibliography  of  meml)er8  of 
the  American  Historical  Association,  of  which  Dr.  Poole  was  president  in  1887, 
vdU  be  found  a  list  of  his  writings ;  it  is  worth  while  now  merely  to  recall  some 
of  the  subjects  elucidated  by  them : — ^The  Popliam  Colony  in  Maine;  Witchcraft 
and  the  Mathers;  Early  Anti-Slavery  Opinions;  The  Oi'dlnance  of  1787,  and 
the  Early  History  of  the  West  and  Northwest;  The  Kentucky  and  Virginia 
Resolutions.  His  last  work  in  this  line  was  a  trenchant  review  in  The  Di^^  of 
Adams's  MaasachuseUs  ;  Us  Historians  and  its  History, 

He  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  from  the  Northwestern  University, 
and  was  a  member  of  its  Corporation  at  the  time  of  his  death.  In  1893  he  de- 
livered an  able  address  l>ef ore  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Society  in  that  institution  on 
I%e  University  Library  and  the  University  Curriculum. 

Dr.  Poole  was  of  commanding  stature  and  fine  presence.  His  health  was  per- 
fect, and  he  was  thus  able  to  accomplish  the  onerous  tasks  that  fell  to  his  lot 
without  friction  or  any  sense  of  being  burdened.  He  was  always  happy  in  his 
work,  and  his  sunny  temperament  and  disposition  won  him  the  esteem  and  af- 
fection of  all  who  were  associated  with  him.  Morally  and  spiritually  he  was 
akin,  as  he  was  by  descent,  to  the  Puritans  whom  he  loved  to  defend  against 
their  detractors,  and  his  character,  unsullied  by  any  breath  of  reproach  or  sus- 
picion, won  him  the  sobriquet  of  **  the  good  Doctor,"  which  attached  to  him  in 
his  last  years.

He  was  the  only  son  of  Stephen  and  Phllomelia  (Parish)  Thnrston,  and  was 
bom  Jane  11,  1810,  in  Gtol&town,  N.  H.  Mr.  Thurston  prepared  for  Ck>llege 
in  the  Kimball  Union  Academy,  Meriden,  N.  H.  He  was  admitted  in  1828  to  the 
freshman  class  of  Amherst  College,  bnt  left  at  the  end  of  one  year  and  entered 
Bpon  the  study  of  law,  being  engaged  meanwhile  in  teaching  school.  He  en- 
toed  npon  the  practice  of  hU  profession  in  1836,  and  settled  in  Elmira,  N.  T. 
He  soon  won  a  local  reputation  and  had  a  wide  and  lucrative  business  as  a  partner 
of  the  law  firm  Wisner  &  Thurston.  In  1850  he  was  appointed  Judge  and 
Surrogate  of  Chemung  County.  He  retired  from  this  position  after  five  years, 
and  in  1859  he  was  appointed  by  (Governor  Morgan  State  Assessor  and  a  member 
of  the  Board  of  Equalization.  He  served  as  a  Supervisor  of  the  erection  of  the 
County  buildings,  and  for  a  long  period  as  one  of  the  Board  of  Bianagers  of  the 
New  York  Reformatory.  At  the  suggestion  of  Mr.  Brockway,  the  Superin- 
tendent, he  drew  the  Act  providing  for  indeterminate  sentences  to  that  institu- 
tion, which  has  become  known  as  the  **  Elmira  system."  Later,  Judge  Thurston 
was  senior  partner  of  the  law  firms  of  Thurston,  Hart  &  Benn,  and  also  of 
Thurston,  Hart  &  McOuire,  which  had  the  largest  practice  of  any  in  the  county. 
After  retiring  from  these  partnerships  he  still  had  his  law-office  and  continued 
to  practise  his  profession. 

At  the  age  of  eighty-four  years  he  was  vigorous  in  body,  his  mind  clear  and 
alert,  his  hand  carried  a  steady  pen,  and  he  retained  all  his  faculties  unim- 
paired. His  death  was  occasioned  instantly  by  a  fall,  while  on  a  visit  to  his 
grand-daughter,  in  West  Braddock,  Pa. 

Judge  Thurston  in  general  appearance  was  tall,  well  built,  and  of  commanding 
presence.  His  carriage  was  erect,  his  step  elastic,  his  greeting  hearty,  and  his 
mind  a  store-house  of  ready  information.  He  was  respected  for  his  sterling 
integrity,  honored  for  his  kindness,  and  beloved  for  his  gentleness  and  kindly 
deeds.  Mr.  Thurston  married  first,  Sept.  8,  1836,  Miss  Julia  Clark  Hart,  who 
died  April  17,  1844;  by  this  marriage  there  were  three  children.  He  married 
second.  May  7,  1846,  Miss  Cornelia  Sophia  Hull,  who  died  June  27,  1865 ;  by 
this  marriage  there  were  five  children. 

Judge  Thurston  married  third,  April  12,  1867,  Mrs.  Greorglana  Gibson  n^e 
Converse,  who  with  five  of  his  eight  children  survive  him.

Bernard  BRi^fis  WmrTEMORB,  A.B.,  was  a  son  of  Bernard  and  Jane  (Holmes) 
Whittemore,  and  was  bom  at  Boston,  May  15,  1817,  his  grandfather  being 
Nathaniel  Whittemore,  a  Revolutionary  soldier.  His  boyhood  days  were  spent 
at  Peterboro*,  N.  H.,  where  his  parents  removed  In  his  infancy.  His  college 
preparatory  education  was  at  Phillips  Exeter  Academy,  and  he  graduated  from 
Harvard  College  In  1839.  Mr.  Whittemore  studied  Uw  and  was  admitted  to  the 
Hillsboro*  County  bar  in  1842.  After  practising  law  a  short  time  at  Palmer, 
Mass.,  and  Amherst,  he  removed  to  Nashua,  New  Hampshire,  and  here  his  real 
life  work  was  taken  up. 

With  his  brother  F.  P.  Whittemore,  he  purchased  the  Weekly  C&zette,  and 
assumed  the  editorial  charge  Nov.  26,  1846.  For  nearly  forty-three  years  he 
was  the  editor  of  that  paper.  Sept.  1,  1872,  a  dally  edition  was  first  put  out, 
which  he  and  his  brother  continued  to  publish  in  connection  with  the  weekly 
until  July  1,  1889.  Mr.  Whittemore  then  retired  frem  the  active  duties  of  a 
newspaper  man,  after  being  continuously  at  the  helm  for  over  forty  years.  He 
was  an  able,  flnent,  giaceful,  forcible  writer,  whose  liberal  education  had  been 
continually  added  to  by  constant  study.  His  fund  of  general  Information  was 
marvellous,  and  on  all  subjects  he  was  a  writer  of  ability.  An  uncompromising 
democrat,  he  advocated  the  cause  of  that  party  with  no  uncertain  pen,  and  did 
yeoman  service  for  It  for  over  two-score  years. 

At  the  Incorporation  of  the  City  of  Nashua  In  1853,  he  was  the  first  democratic 
candidate  for  mayor,  and  although  his  party  was  not  victorious,  he  received  a 
highly  complimentary  vote.  In  1852-53  he  was  a  member  of  the  New  Hamp- 
shire senate.  He  was  an  alderman  of  the  city  in  1860,  and  city  treasurer  in 
1861.  He  was  a  trustee  of  the  public  library  from  the  day  of  its  formation  to 
bis  death,  and  for  many  years  was  a  constant  attendant  at  the  Unitarian  church. 
Qnlte  recently  he  published  a  genealogy  of  the  Whittemore  family.  He  never 
married.  He  died  March  5,  1893,  in  Cambridge,  Mass.,  of  heart  failure,  at  the 
house  of  Judge  Nathaniel  Holmes,  where  he  was  on  a  visit. 

Mr.  Whittemore,  when  at  Exeter  Academy,  as  he  wrote,  laid  down  one  rule

for  himself :  to  work  **  diligently  bnt  not  vehemently/'  or  as  GoBthe  has  it, 
"  Obne  Hast,  ohne  Rast**;  and  this  rule  he  apparently  kept  through  life. 

He  was  a  quiet,  nnassnming  man,  who  did  not  care  for  public  office,  but 
pursued  the  even  tenor  of  hfi  way  through  all  the  vicissitudes  of  a  country 
editor's  life.  As  a  lawyer  he  was  one  of  the  best  informed  in  the  bar  of  the 
county  where  he  practised,  as  at  his  death  he  was,  if  not  the  oldest,  next  to  the 
oldest  member  in  the  county. 

His  opinion  was  much  sought  for,  and  always  showed  the  result  of  careful, 
conservative  judgment.  To  his  friends  he  was  a  genial  man,  whose  rare  fund 
of  information  was  being  continually  drawn  upon.  He  was  a  gentleman  of  the 
old  school,  and  did  noble  service  for  the  up-building  of  Nashua. 

For  much  of  the  material  in  this  sketch  1  am  Indebted  to  an  article  in  the 
Nashua  Gazette. 

He  was  elected  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society,  November  1,  1854.

Rev.  Richard  Manning  Chipman,  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society, 
elected  in  Octol)er,  1848,  died  in  Devon,  Pa.,  Aug.  15,  1893.  He  was  bom  in 
Salem,  Mass.,  Jan.  12,  1806,  son  of  Richard  Manning  and  Elizabeth  (Gray) 
Chipman.  Thomas  Cliipman  of  Dorchester,  England,  about  1567-1623,  was  an- 
cestor of  the  American  family.  His  son  John^  came  early  to  this  country,  and

found  in  a  record  f nmished  by  our  associate  member  to  the  Essex  Institute  (Col- 
lections, Vol.  11,  page  283). 

Throughout  life  his  interest  and  skill  in  genealogical  studies  was  unabated. 
His  mind  was  alert  and  keen,  his  memory  was  a  rich  store-house,  and  he  did 
honor  to  his  membership,  which  he  highly  prized  in  our  Society.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  Kimball  Union  Academy,  Dartmouth  College  (1832),  and  Princeton 
Theological  Seminary.  Pastor  at  Harwinton,  Ct.,  1835-9;  Athol,  Mass.,  1839-

Ethan  Nelson  Coburn,  son  of  Lemuel  and  Hannah  (Post)  Coburn,  was  bom 
at  Falrlce,  Vt.,  13  April,  1821,  and  married,  23  April,  1845,  Huldah  Ellen  Bruce. 
They  had  six  children. 

Mr.  Coburn  was  an  undertaker  at  Charlestown,  Mass.,  and  long  v I'oi^^iieiit  as 
a  citizen.  For  many  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  overseers  of  the 
poor,  and,  in  1873,  was  a  member  and  chairman  of  the  Common  Council — that 
being  the  last  separate  city  government  of  Charlestown.  He  was  one  of  the 
committee  which  edited  and  printed  the  two  volumes  of  the  late  Thomas  B. 
Wyman,  on  "  The  Genealogies  and  Estates  of  Charlestown."  Mr.  Coburn  de- 
voted much  attention  to  the  collection  of  genealogical  and  historical  works,  and 
was  profound  in  his  knowledge  of  published  Americana.  His  library  was  well 
selected  and  became  valuable.  He  was  a  great  reader,  fluent  in  conversation 
aud  widely  conversant  with  Charlestown  history,  in  which  he  manifested  an 
abiding  interest.  His  numerous  critical  and  careful  articles  on  that  subject 
made  his  opinion  authoritative. 

Mr.  Coburn  was  in  feeble  health  for  the  last  year  or  two  of  his  life ;  gave  up 
business  and  retired  to  the  home  of  his  boyhood,  now  West  Fairlee,  Vt.  The 
hoped-for  improvement  in  health  was  not  realized,  and  he  retumed  to  Charles- 
town, where  he  died  13  July,  1893. 

Mr.  Coburn  became  a  resident  member  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealo- 
gical Society,  1  Febraary,  1871,  and  life  member  the  same  year.

The  Grcushopper  in  Lombard  Street.  By  John  Biddulph  Martin.  London : 
The  Leadenhall  Press,  Ltd. :  Slmpkln,  Marshall,  Hamilton,  Kent  &  Co.,  Ltd. 
New  York:  Scribner  &  Welford.    1892.    Crown  4to. 

This  is  a  book  of  history,  not  of  entomology.  It  deals  with  the  grasshopper 
ms  an  emblem,  or,  more  precisely,  as  a  golden  image  and  business  sign.  As  a 
history  it  sets  forth  the  experiences  daring  three  hnndred  and  fifty  years  or 
more  of  one  of  the  principal  banking  hoases  in  London,  known  to  fame,  and 
for  a  long  period  to  sight,  by  its  projecting  sign  on  Lombard  street,  the  figure 
of  a  grasshopper.  Other  banking  houses  in  the  neighborhood  were  in  like 
manner  made  manifest  by  signs,  as  the  '*  Plough,'*  the  *'  Unicom,"  the  '*  Three 
Squirrels,"  the  **  Marigold,"  etc.  The  sign  of  the  "  Grasshopper"  disappeared 
during  a  reconstruction  of  the  bank  building  in  1794;  though  the  indication  of 
the  cut  on  page  230  of  the  book  is  that  a  copy  of  it  yet  exists  within  the  build- 
ing, martially  arrayed  upon  a  metallic  framework  with  six  guns  and  eight  pistols 
of  the  time  of  the  Georges.  These  weapons  are  supposed  to  have  been  procured 
to  put  the  bank  in  a  state  of  defence  against  a  city  riot  or  like  peril.  Tlie  author 
does  not  fix  the  date  when  the  *'  Grasshopper"  as  an  institution  had  its  begin- 
ning, but  it  may  be  referred  to  the  year  1537,  when  Sir  Richard  Gresham  was 
knighted  by  Henry  VIII.  and  was  granted  a  coat  of  arms,  the  crest  of  which  Is 
A  grasshopper  in  gold.  Gresham  was  one  of  the  Company  of  Mercers  and  seems 
to  have  ranked  as  a  goldsmith,  in  the  financial  meaning  of  that  word.  At  any 
rate,  he  is  recorded  in  the  king*s  cash  book  as  having  been  paid  £100  for  **a 
cheyne  of  fiyne  golde,"  a  purchase  incident  to  the  fourth  wedding  of  Henry  VIII. 
That  he  was  what  would  now  be  called  a  financier  there  is  no  doubt.  He  was 
an  accredited  agent  of  the  English  government  in  the  Low  Countries,  and  was 
frequently  employed  there  in  its  money  transactions.  In  that  experience  he 
saw  the  advantage  of  a  bourse  or  money  exchange,  and  projected  such  an  in- 
stitution for  London.  It  was  not  established,  however,  in  that  reign.  That 
Sir  Richard  had  an  ofllce  in  Lombard  street  may  be  regarded  certain,  for  that 
was  the  street  where  the  goldsmiths  congregated ;  and  as  that  was  not  an  age 
of  lettered  signs,  and  as  the  title  or  style  of  the  bank,  the  **  Sign  of  the  Grass- 
hopper," is  of  immemorial  date,  its  beginning  must  be  held  to  be  coeval  with 
the  famous  Henry.  That  Sir  Richard  was  a  resident  in  London  subsequently 
to  his  stay  in  Flanders  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  he  was  Lord  Mayor  in  1537, 
which  was  two  years  before  the  sale  of  the  chain  of  fine  gold. 

It  was,  however,  during  the  lifetime  of  his  son,  Sir  Thomas  Gresham,  that 
the  grasshopper  as  an  emblem  or  image  rose  to  fame  above  all  contemporary 
images  of  like  quality.  The  bank  premises  have  always  been  the  spot  now 
numbered  68  of  Lombard  street,  and  it  is  of  record  that  Sir  Thomas  had  his 
shop  or  office  there  in  a  building  which  was  also  his  residence  until  his  accu- 
mulated wealth  enabled  him  to  erect  a  dwelling  house  on  Bishopsgate  street, 
spacious  enough  and  grand  enough  for  the  entertainment  of  royalty  itself. 

The  great  fire  of  1666  destroyed  so  many  records  public  and  private,  includ- 
ing those  of  the  Grasshopper,  that  its  fortunes  cannot  be  distinctly  traced  dur- 
ing a  period  of  nearly  one  hundred  years  after  the  decease  of  Sir  Thomas 
Gresham.  But  our  author  has,  with  indefatigable  zeal,  gathered  information 
from  remote  sources,  largely  family  histories,  by  which  the  succession  of 
partnerships,  or  at  least  prominent  members  thereof,  is  traced.  As  to  these 
persons  and  their  transactions  he  makes  up  a  curious  and  entertaining  narrative, 
with  abundant  allusion  to  current  events  of  their  lifetimes.  Throughout  the 
author  has  touched  here  and  there  upon  collateral  themes,  giving  evidence,  both 
in  this  and  in  his  immediate  task,  of  painstaking  in  his  search  and  of  fidelity  to 
the  facts.  Within  its  field,  which  is  given  a  proper  amplitude,  the  book  thus 
becomes  a  valuable  one  for  reference,  being  furnished  with  a  good  index.    To

ibis  end  it  maj  well  be  kept  in  mind  by  any  engaged  in  studying  phases  of  Lon- 
don life  from  the  period  indicated  down  to  comparatively  recent  times.  It  is 
handsomely  boand  and  printed  and  contains  thirty-seven  illustrations,  com- 
prising portraits,  views,  etc.,  pertinent  to  the  subject.  There  are  also  plans  of 
the  Lombard  street  vicinity,  showing  among  other  things  that  the  Grasshopper 
site  is  two  hundred  and  forty-three  feet  distant  from  the  entrance  to  the  Royal 
Exchange  on  Comhill.  As  an  appendix  is  reproduced  in  antique  type,  with  title 
page  in  fac-simile,  a  rare  pamphlet  of  the  year  1676,  entitled  **  The  Mystery  of 
the  New-fashioned  Goldsmiths  or  Bankers,'*  etc.,  which  might  have  had  given 
it  an  altei native  title,  **A  Counterblast  against  usury,  coin-clipping  and  all 
sorts  of  nigging  In  money  transactions.** 

In  the  multiplicity  of  his  allusions  the  author  does  not  omit  to  inform  Lon- 
don readers,  for  whom  the  book  was  especially  written,  of  our  grasshopper. 
He  says :  **  Visitors  to  Boston  (U.S.A.),  may  notice  a  grasshopper,  serving  as 
a  vane,  on  the  summit  of  Faneuil  Hall,  the  cradle  of  liberty  venerated  by  all 
Americans,  and  one  of  the  oldest  buildings  in  that  city**;  and  he  names  our 
Sexton  of  the  Old  School  as  his  authority  in  saying  that  the  Boston  grasshopper 
is  an  imitation,  **  a  plagiarism,"  of  that  of  the  London  Exchange.  This  refer- 
ence has  seemed  to  make  opportune  for  this  number  of  the  Rboister  some 
remarks  upon  the  Boston  grasshopper,  which  appear  on  an  earlier  page.

British  Family  Ifames :  Their  Origin  and  Meaning,  wUh  Lists  of  Scandinavian, 
Frisian,  Anglo-Saxon  and  Norman  Names.  By  Henry  Barber,  M.D.,  Author 
of  "Fumess  and  Cartmel  Notes,"  **The  Cistercian  Abbey  of  Maulbronn," 
"  Some  Queer  Names,**  **  The  Shrine  of  St.  Boniface  at  Fulda,"  "  Popular

E.  C.     1894.     1  Vol.     8vo.  pp.  285. 

This  interesting  and  valuable  volume  will  be  found  to  contain  much  useful 
idformation  for  those  curious  in  the  origin  of  family  names,  difficult  of  easy 
attainment  elsewhere.     The  introductory  essays  to  each  list  of  British,  Old 
Norse  Personal,  Frisian,  Family  and  Personid,  names  are  uncommonly  learned 
and  intelligent.    Beside  these  are  lists  of  the  names  from  the  Domesday  Book 
of  Edward  the  Confessor,  including  landholders,  tenants  in  chief  and  under- 
tenants, and  the  Roll  of  Battell  Abbey.    These  occupy  a  third  of  the  well  printed 
¥olume,  and  deserve  the  unqualified  approbation  of  the  scholar  in  nomenclature. 
The  remainder  of  the  volume  is  devoted  to  an  alphabetical  list  of  British  sur- 
names, of  which  more  than  eight  thousand  are  cited,  a  remarkable  monument 
of  industry  and  careful  investigation.    The  identity  of  names  with  geographical 
location  is  full  and  comprehensive ;  but  we  do  not  find  the  sources  of  origin  or 
meaning  of  surnames  equally  satisfactory.    To  be  sure  a  conception  of  such, 
to  be  adequate,  would  require  its  author  to  be  familiar  with  the  usages,  cus- 
toms, habits  and  thoughts,  as  well  as  all  the  dialects,  from  the  Euskarlan  to  the 
Norman,  appropriate  to  the  various  tribes  and  peoples  that  have  left  their 
impress  on  the  names  that  have  come  down  to  the  present.    We  do  not  under- 
stand Dr.  Barber  to  profess  any  such  encyclopaedic  knowledge.     The  reader 
must  not,  therefore,  be  surprised  to  find  a  general  lack  of  occupative  deriva- 
tions, and  of  names  individualized  from  some  personal  peculiarity,  disposition, 
manners  or  appearance.    Our  author  seems  satisfied  with  an  apparent  locative 
derivation,  when  it  is  notorious  that  the  reverse  may  be  true,  the  location  re- 
ceiving its  proprietor's  name  or  title.     So  of  the  Scandinavian  mythology,  a 
prolific  source  of  Danish  and  Norse  names.    Many  of  the  cited  surnames  are  of 
Keltic  or  Cymric  derivation,  rather  than  of  locality.    Agglutination,  transposi- 
tion, and  other  phonetic  mutations  have  obscured  the  history  of  a  vast  number 
of  names ;  and,  in  this  respect,  the  British,  probably  from  the  great  variety  of 
races  entering  into  their  national  composition,  have  been  conspicuous.    The 
honorable,  resounding,  proud  names  of  one  century  have  been  clipped  and  de- 
graded in  descent,  till  the  arch-angel  becomes  Muggins ;  and  the  Taillefer,  de- 
rived from  the  prowess  and  strength  of  arm,  which  could  drive  the  battle  ax 
through  a  bar  of  iron,  becomes  that  of  a  dozen  negroes,  pressing  tobacco  in  a 
Virginia  factory.    The  influence  of  custom  or  fashion  has  shown  itself  more  in 
the  baptismal  than  in  the  surname.    The  latter  often  survives,  while  the  other 
perishes.    Arthur,  Owen,  Alan,  survive  from  the  Cymric;  Edward,  Edwin,  Al-

idmost  the  sole  representatives  of  the  iEthelreds  and  iBlf wards,  the  Olafs  and 
Erics,  the  Merlins  and  OflOiis  of  the  times  before  the  conquest.  As  foreigners 
have  been  absorbed  into  the  English  race,  their  names  have  served  to  swell  the 
Tocabnlary.  In  America,  we  luive  added  a  few  from  the  Indian  and  the  negro 
races,  and  may,  hereafter,  from  the  Asiatics  of  late  immigration.

goes  even  farther  back  than  the  year  1643.  Mr.  Horace  Day  stated  in  his  ad- 
dress that  **  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  prior  to  its  union  with  Connecticut, 
New  Haven  had  an  independe**t  civil  and  political  organization  (although  with- 
out a  charter)  and  was  the  solitary  instance  of  an  absolutely  iudependent  state 
on  the  American  continent."  Mr.  Simeon  £.  Baldwin,  in  his  address,  rightly 
lays  much  stress  upon  the  great  importance  of  the  work  our  various  historical 
societies  are  doing.  I  believe  It  is  hardly  possible  to  over-estimate  the  far- 
reaching  effect  of  the  thorough  work  that  has  been  done  and  is  being  done  by 
them ;  in  gathering  and  preserving  a  wealth  of  material  for  the  historians  of 
our  own  times  and  of  the  future;  and  in  Implanting  and  stimulating  In  the 
minds  of  its  members  (and  through  them  of  the  great  multitude  of  our  read- 
ing, thinking  people)  interest  in  and  love  for  American  and  English  history . 
And  surely  It  will  be  admitted  by  all  thoughtful  people  that  historical  studies 
have  a  very  important  place  in  the  mental  development  of  man.

The  reader  will  derive  from  these  pages  much  interesting  information  about 
a  locality  of  peculiar  historic  interest.  The  early  voyagers  who  visited  these 
shores  are  noticed,  and  a  good  account  of  the  settlement  of  Bath  and  Its  vicinity 
is  given.  The  book  is  particularly  full  In  biography,  and  portraits  of  many  rep-

of  buildings,  ancient  and  modem.  Shipbuilding  is  the  principal  industry  of  the 
place  at  the  present  time,  and  due  attention  is  paid  to  it  here.

The  story  of  the  white  man's  occupancy  beyond  the  Alleghanles  is  told  by 
Mr.  Drake  in  three  epochs,  viz. :  the  conquest,  the  advance,  the  progress.  Each 
epoch  is  subdivided  into  Interesting  descriptions  of  the  natural  features  of  the 
country,  thrilling  relations  of  the  deeds  of  the  pioneers,  the  permanent  grasp 
of  the  armies,  the  resistance  of  the  Indians,  the  struggle  between  the  rivals ; 
all  tending  to  the  rLse  and  growth  of  the  Great  West.  It  is  the  white  man's 
story.  The  red  man  is  seen,  precisely  as  the  natural  features  of  the  laud  are 
seen ;  and  serve  to  add  variety  to  the  illustration.    The  cuts  of  scenery,  por-

extend  reading  or  study.

Diary  of  Anna  Oreen  Winslow,  a  Boston  School  Girl  of  1771.  By  Aucb  Morsb 
Earls.  Boston  and  New  York:  Houghton,  Mifflin  &  Co.  12mo.  pp.  121. 
Price  $1.25. 

Mrs.  Earle  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  the  editor  of  this  work,  is  the  author  of  **  The 
Sabbath  in  Puritan  New  England,**  and  "  Customs  and  Fashions  in  Old  New 
England,'*  noticed  in  previous  volumes  of  the  Register.  The  **  Boston  school- 
girl** who  kept  this  diary  was  a  daughter  of  Joshua  Wiuslow  of  Marshfleld 
and  his  wife  Anna,  daughter  of  Joseph  Green  of  Boston.  Her  father  was  a 
descendant  of  John  Winslow  of  the  Mayflower,  and  her  mother  traced  her  an- 
cestry to  Percival  Green,  concerning  whom  and  his  descendants  the  Hon.  Samuel 
A.  Green,  M.D.,  contributed  an  article  to  the  Register  for  April,  1861,  which 
was  reprinted  with  additions.  The  diary  extends  from  Nov.  1771,  to  May,  1772. 
It  gives  us  glimpses  of  life  in  Boston  just  previous  to  the  opening  of  the  Revolu- 
tionary war.  The  editor  has  done  her  work  thoroughly.  In  her  **  Forewords  ** 
she  has  given  much  matter  relating  to  the  diarist  and  her  relatives.  Her  * '  Notes  ** 
at  the  end  of  the  volume  are  filled  with  interesting  facts  concerning  people  men- 
tioned in  the  diary.  The  engravings  which  embellish  the  volume  truly  illustrate 
it.  They  are  a  portrait  of  Miss  Winslow  from  a  miniature  now  owned  by  Miss 
Elizabeth  C.  Treat  of  Niagara  Falls ;  a  fac-simile  of  a  portion  of  the  original 
diary,  with  her  signature;  a  Wedding  Party  in  Boston  in  1766  from  tapestry 
now  owned  by  the  American  Antiquarian  Society;  and  portraits  of  General 
Joshua  Winslow,  Ebenezer  Storer  and  Hannah  Green  Storer,  the  first  from  a 
miuiature,  and  the  others  from  portraits  painted  by  Copley.  There  is  also  an 
engraving  of  a  cut-paper  picture  executed  by  Mrs.  Sarah  Winslow  Deming, 
aunt  of  the  diarist. 

The  book  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  personal  and  public  history  of 
provincial  Massachusetts. 

The  History  of  Holden,  Massachusetts^  1684-1894.  By  David  Foster  Estbs. 
Published  by  the  Town.  Worcester,  Mass. :  Press  of  C.  F.  Lawrence  &  Co.

On  the  80th  of  November,  1840,  the  town  of  Holden  celebrated  its  One  Hun- 
dredth Anniversary.  Samuel  C.  Damon,  a  native  of  the  town  and  a  member  of 
Andover  Theological  Seminary,  afterwards  the  Rev.  Samuel  C.  Damon,  D.D., 
of  Honolulu  (see  Register,  vol.  39,  pp.  398),  was  invited  to  deliver  an  histori- 
cal address,  which  he  did.  The  address  was  embodied  in  a  History  of  Holden 
by  him,  published  in  1841  in  a  volume  of  154  pages.  Dr.  Damon's  history  has 
been  incorporated  in  this  volume. 

The  present  book  does  credit  to  the  author,  Mr.  Estes,  and  to  the  town  of 
Holden,  at  whose  charge  it  has  been  published.  The  history  of  the  town  for 
over  two  hundred  years  is  here  narrated  in  an  interesting  manner.  The  volume 
is  embellished  with  forty-two  portraits  and  eight  views,  and  contains  also  a  plan 
of  the  town.    It  is  well  indexed. 

No  town  can  spend  money  to  better  advantage  than  in  preserving  its  annals 
in  print.

In  our  number  for  July  last  we  noticed  two  recently  published  books  for  re- 
cording the  ancestors  of  an  individual.  We  then  referred  to  other  books  for 
this  purpose,  and  among  them  named  the  first  edition  of  the  book  before  us. 
Rev.  Mr.  Bailey  has  made  some  improvements  on  his  book  which  will  render  it 
more  useful.  Besides  the  blanks  for  recording  one*s  ancestors,  provision  is 
made  for  preserving  photograplis  and  for  miscellaneous  notes.

We  are  glad  to  see  the  Early  Records  of  the  Ancient  Town  of  Watertown  in 
print  in  the  volume  before  us.  They  have  been  printed  at  the  expense  of  the 
town,  and  under  the  direction  of  a  committee  of  the  Watertown  Historical  So- 
ciety. The  committee  in  an  Introduction  give  a  history  of  the  publication  and 
the  services  rendered  by  those  who  have  aided  in  the  work ;  and  a  description 
of  the  written  records  now  preserved  by  the  town. 

The  volume  before  us  contains:  1,  Record  of  Town  Proceedings;  2,  Lands, 
Grants  and  Possessions,  including  the  Proprietors*  Book ;  3,  Records  of  Births, 
Deaths  and  Marriages.  Each  of  these  parts  is  separately  paged  with  separate 
indexes.  Fac-similes  of  some  of  the  entries  are  given.  Maps  of  portions  of 
the  town  have  been  added  from  the  Massachusetts  Archives.  The  committee 
state  that  it  has  been  their  aim  to  **  procure  a  copy  verbatim  et  literatim  of  the 
original  records.  Nothing  has  been  taken  for  granted.  All  doubtful  passages 
have  been  placed  in  brackets,  and  editorial  comments  or  additions  have  beea 
enclosed  In  parentheses,  with  reference  to  authorities  where  necessary."  Much 
pains  has  evidently  been  taken  to  reproduce  the  original  record  faithfully.  The 
committee  deserve  credit  for  this.  We  hope  editors  of  records  of  other  towuB 
will  follow  their  example. 

The  fourth  volume  of  the  Dedham  Records  Is  also  before  us.  The  previous 
volumes  have  all  been  noticed  by  us.  The  same  care  has  been  bestowed  by  Mr.

Eight  numbers  of  this  serial  were  noticed  by  us  in  July,  1894.  Thirteen  num- 
bers have  now  been  issued,  and  are  before  us.  They  form  a  valuable  addition 
to  the  local  and  family  history  of  Maine.  Mr.  Patterson  of  Wiscasset,  the 
editor  of  this  work,  made  a  statement  a  year  or  two  ago  to  the  Maine  Genealo- 
gical Society,  relative  to  the  probate  records  of  Lincoln  County.  There  are 
about  150  wills  on  the  records  of  the  county  before  the  division.  The  records 
up  to  the  incorporation  of  Kennebec  County  in  1799,  are  in  eight  volumes. 
There  are  many  records  of  intestates,  and  some  records  of  partitions  of  real 
estate.  There  are  some  wills  that  were  not  recorded  as  they  were  not  allowed. 
There  are  some  papers  of  the  records  missing,  as  it  is  probable  that  in  early 
times  the  registers  of  probate  kept  their  records  in  their  own  houses.  Mr. 
Patterson  is  doing  a  good  service  in  preserving  in  print  the  records  now  in  the 
Lincoln  County  olOce,  and  we  hope  the  misshig  records  may  be  recovered  and 
placed  in  their  rightful  depository.

volume  represents  summer  vacation  work  for  eight  years.  Bom  of  ancestors 
who  were  among  the  very  first  to  redeem  Rose  soil  from  the  wilderness,  I  can- 
not remember  the  time  when  the  story  of  early  adventure  and  hardship  was  not 
heard.  Grandparents  and  great-grandparents  filled  my  childish  ears  with 
anecdote  and  incident,  so  that  when  they  had  passed  on  it  seemed  fitting  to  give 
the  narrative  more  permanent  form  than  that  of  mere  legend  and  tradition. 
This  was  the  prompting  to  write  for  the  Clyde  Times  in  1886,t  he  first  of  the

From  these  extracts  and  the  title  page,  the  reader  will  have  a  good  idea  of

Mstoric  Becords  of  an  Old  Family.    1890. 

We  continue  in  this  number  our  quarterly  notices  of  worlos  relating  to  gene- 
alogy recently  received. 

The  Crafts  Family,  the  first  on  our  list,  is  an  excellent  specimen  of  books  of 
this  kind.  It  is  carefully  compiled,  well  arranged,  handsomely  printed  on  fine 
paper,  well  Indexed,  and  well  bound.  '*  It  has  forty-one  full  page  illustrations. 
It  contains  the  family  records  of  over  eleven  hundred  families  of  the  name  of 
Crafts,  and  of  probably  as  many  more  bearing  other  names."  Particular  atten- 
tion seems  to  have  been  paid  to  biography,  the  details  of  which  are  very  full. 
The  book  contains  a  Journal  of  the  Siege  of  Louisburg  from  April  24th  to  Sept. 
5th,  1745,  by  Benjamin  Craft ;  A  Jonrn^  of  the  Siege  of  Boston,  from  June  15th 
to  Nov.  16th,  1775,  by  Lieut.  Benjamin  Crafts ;  and  a  Journal  of  Burgoyne*s  Sur- 
render, kept  from  Sept.  9th  to  December  2d,  1777,  by  Major  Eleazer  Craft. 
Much  other  matter  of  historic  Interest  appears  In  this  book,  making  it  of  value 
to  others  besides  those  of  the  name. 

The  next  volume,  on  the  Life  and  Times  of  Henry  Burt  of  Springfield,  and 
some  of  his  Descendants,  Is  an  ably  compiled  work,  and  contains  much  matter 
that  will  interest  all  New  Englanders.  To  those  of  the  name  or  blood  It  Is  in- 
valuable. The  book  Is  illustrated  with  portraits,  maps  and  autographs.  It  Is 
well  Indexed.  Much  labor  has  evidently  been  spent  In  compiling  the  book, 
which  makes  over  six  hundred  pages.    It  Is  well  printed  and  bound. 

The  Hitchcock  Family,  by  Mrs.  Hitchcock,  is  another  work  of  a  high  order  of 
excellence.  Matthias  Hitchcock,  the  emigrant  ancestor,  came  from  England  at 
the  age  of  twenty-five,  in  the  spring  of  1635,  in  the  Susan  and  Ellen  (Register* 
xiv.,  300),  and  settled  In  Watertown,  Mass.  A  few  years  later  he  removed  to 
New  Haven  Cdlony,  where  he  died  Nov.  16,  1669.  Mrs.  Hitchcock  has  suc- 
ceeded in  gathering  a  very  satisfactory  record  of  his  descendants,  and  those  of 
Luke  Hitchcock  of  Wethersfleld,  Ct.  "  The  aim  of  this  book"  she  says  In  the 
Introduction,  **  has  been  to  preserve  the  records  of  a  portion  of  the  Hitchcock 
family,  as  far  as  they  could  be  secured  from  town  and  church  records,  records 
of  Probate  Courts  and  liegistries  of  Deeds,  and  from  family  records,"  a  large 
number  of  which  have  been  personally  examined.  In  arranging  the  work  she 
has  been  aided  by  Rev.  Dr.  Marsh  of  Amherst.  The  book  Is  well  printed,  and 
has  a  very  full  Index.  It  Is  handsomely  bound,  and  illustrated  by  many  fine 
portraits. 

The  next  book,  the  Descendants  of  James  Young  of  Aberdeen,  Scotland,  is 
by  Licut.-Col.  William  Johnston,  Brigade  Surgeon  of  the  Army  Medical  Staff 
of  Newton  Dee,  Murtie,  Aberdeenshire.  In  1861,  the  late  Mr.  Alexander  Johns- 
ton printed  at  Aberdeen  for  private  circulation,  250  copies  of  ''  A  Short  Memoir 
of  James  Young,  Merchant  Burgess  of  Aberdeen  and  Rachel  Cruickshank  his 
spouse,  and  of  their  descendants,"  &c..  In  which  the  descendants  were  brought 
down  to  1860.  The  work  before  us  has  also  been  printed  for  private  circula- 
tion. Llcut.-Col.  Johnston  informs  us  in  his  Preface,  that  it  Is  '*  an  attempt  to 
bring  the  account  down  to  the  end  of  1898."  The  book  gives  much  genealogical 
and  biographical  matter  relating  to  many  distinguished  Scottish  families  and 
individuals.    The  book  Is  handsomely  printed  on  laid  paper,  and  is  well  indexed. 

The  Trubee  Family,  by  Mrs.  Garllck,  is  a  book  that  in  every  way  reflects 
credit  on  the  author.     It  makes  a  very  handsome  volume,  and  is  evidently  a 


1895.]  Book  Notk^M.  101 

work  on  which  much  labor  has  been  expended*  to  make  it  accurate  and  full. 
"  Realizing  the  fact,"  the  author  says  in  her  iivci>ai|ction,  *'that  unless  the 
members  of  a  family  are  suflQciently  interested  in  tKri^-f^^st  record  to  preserre 
it  in  writing,  it  will  be  forgotten  and  lost  by  the  passfng-away  of  generation 
after  generation,  I  have  written  for  the  benefit  of  oun^l¥es|md  descendants 
a  history  of  our  family,  commencing  with  our  Hebrew  ancestor;  iindris  Trubee 
of  Holland.**  The  volume  is  embellished  by  many  fine  portrait*  ind  other  en* 
gravings.  --* 

The  next  volume,  **  Ralph  Shepard,  Puritan,**  by  the  late  Mr.  ShepAlil  of  New 
Haven,  N.  Y.,  is  an  elegantly  printed  book,  the  edition  of  which  is-iiQilt^  to 
fifty  numbered  and  signed  copies.  The  author's  dedication  is  **  To  my  l^ath^ 
Sidney  Shepard,  Esquire,  a  lineal  descendant  of  Ralph  Shepard,  in  the'^,^fttli 
generation,  I  lovingly  inscribe  this  Book.**  The  book  contains  all  that  could^ 
gathered  relative  to  the  author's  emigrant  ancestor  who  came  to  New  EnglanU 
in  1635.  He  died  Aug.  20,  1693.  aged  90.  An  engraving  of  his  gravestone  at 
Maiden  is  given.  Besides  the  account  of  Ralph  Shepard,  two  generations  of  his 
descendants  are  found  here.  The  book  is  a  worthy  memorial  of  a  worthy 
ancestor. 

Dr.  Parker's  Gleanings  from  Parker  Records  contains  gleanings  concerning 
various  persons  of  the  name  in  England  and  America,  many  of  whom  have  won 
distinction.  The  book  is  printed  in  an  elegant  manner,  and  is  illustrated  with 
flue  engravings. 

The  Family  Notes  by  the  late  Hon.  Joseph  P.  Bradley,  a  Justice  of  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court,  are  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Francis  Bradley,  who 
settled  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  in  1660.  They  were  written  for  the  benefit  of  his 
children,  and  have  been  edited  aud  published  by  his  son.  Much  historical  as 
well  as  genealogical  matter  is  here  preserved.  The  book  makes  a  handsome 
volume.     It  shows  great  research. 

The  Peirce  Family  Record  is  by  Edward  W.  West,  Esq.,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y., 
who  in  1864  published  a  thin  pamphlet  under  the  same  title,  and  in  1869  issued 
several  pages  of  additions  and  corrections.  These  were  noticed  in  the  Register 
for  October,  1872.  The  present  work  is  much  enlarged  and  improved.  It  has 
an  Appendix  containing  accounts  of  some  related  families,  namely:  Hardy, 
Grafton,  Gardener,  Dawes,  Lathrop,  Cordis,  Russell,  Haswell,  Gray,  Chipman, 
Blanchard,  Holland,  May,  West,  Wyman,  Cobia,  etc.  The  book  is  well  pre- 
pared, and  mid^cs  a  handsome  volume. 

Mr.  Brown's  book  on  the  Old  Families  of  Bedford,  Massachusetts,  is  a  work 
of  much  merit,  and  is  commended  to  those  who  trace  their  ancestry  to  that 
town.    It  is  illustrated  by  engravings. 

The  Gibbs  Family  Record  is  a  handsome  pamphlet  from  the  University  Press. 
It  gives  the  descendants  of  James  Gibbs  of  Bristol,  Massachusetts  Bay,  who  is 
supposed  to  be  from  Bristol,  England.    The  biographies  are  full  and  precise. 

The  Odell  pedigree  is  by  Mr.  King  of  Yonkers,  N.  Y,,  who  has  contributed 
manv  articles  to  the  Register.  He  finds  the  name  spelled  Wadehelle,  WadhuU, 
de  Wahul,  Wodhull,  Woodhull,  Wodell,  Odell,  Odill,  Odle,  etc.  The  emigrant 
ancestor  of  the  family  here  recorded  was  William  Odell,  an  early  settler  of  Con- 
cord, Mass.,  who,  Mr.  King  thinks,  came  with  Rev.  Peter  Biilkcley,  or  about 
that  time.    The  pedigree  is  carefully  compiled. 

The  next  three  works,  Hooe-Bames,  Dade  and  Fowke,  are  by  the  careful 
genealogist,  Rev.  Mr.  Hay  den  of  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.,  whose  **  Virginia  Genealo- 
gies "  were  noticed  by  us  in  January,  1892. 

The  next  three  works  are  by  Lieut.  Temple  Prime,  U.  S.  A.,  Huntington, 
N.  Y.  They  are  second  editions  of  works  previously  published.  They  all  re- 
late to  families  of  high  repute  in  New  England  history.  The  works  are  care- 
fully compiled,  and  printed  in  a  handsome  manner.  They  are  illustrated  by 
engravings.  The  Nelson  book  contains  a  portrait  by  Smibert  of  the  hero  of 
Samuel  Adams  Drake's  novel,  *'  Captain  Nelson.**  (See  Register,  vol.  33,  p. 
261.) 

The  Family  of  John  Savage  is  a  reprint  from  the  Register  for  July  last,  with 
very  large  additions.  One  of  the  appended  articles  gives  a  list  of  the  Revolu* 
tionary  soldiers  of  the  family,  their  rank  and  service.  The  two  brothers, 
Savage,  of  Lowell,  who  compile  this  monograph  on  their  family  history  in 


102  HeceJkfJhAHcations.  [Jan. 

America,  have  deyoted  a  l^g^>oi6unt  of  diligent  and  intelligent  research  to  its 
accomplishment.  We  un4Ws(and  that  its  distribution  is  to  be  private,  bat  we 
apprehend  that  genei|logIato**  desiring  copies  conld  likely  be  accommodated  by 
early  application.  ••«  **.  * 

The  NeedhanuBr^eh  of  the  Tolman  Family,  by  Mrs.  Pickford,  gives  a  line 
of  the  TolmM  lah^ftj  not  carried  ont  in  the  article  on  the  Tolmans  in  the  Rbq- 
ISTRR  for  Jmj,''lSGO.    It  makes  a  handsome  pamplilet. 

Mr.  lawn's***  History  of  the  Shepard  Family**  famishes  details  of  a  Ver- 
mont* family  of  this  name,  of  which  little  has  previoasly  been  preserved  in 
prijalr..***Ttfe  author  deserves  credit  for  his  work. 

.'  'TI^Tarsons  Genealogy  is  by  Gen.  Lewis  B.  Parsons  of  Flora,  Clay  connty, 

.,  IIMbois,  who  traces  his  ancestry  to  Joseph  Parsons  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  re- 

*.  *iating  to  whom  and  his  descendants  an  article  will  be  found  in  the  Rbgistkb  for 

',  l\  \  July,  1847.    Appended  is  an  article  giving  the  author's  ancestry  in  his  maternal 

line — Hoar. 

The  Sprague  pamphlet  gives  the  ancestry  from  that  family  of  the  author, 
Dwight  H.  Kelton,  LL.D.,  of  Montpelier,  Yt.,  captain  in  the  United  States 
Army.    He  is  the  author  of  '<  Annals  of  Fort  Mackenac,"  etc. 

The  **  Historic  Records  of  an  Old  Family  **  is  by  Rear  Adm.  Francis  Ashbury 
Roe,  U.  S.  N.  The  *'  Old  Family**  is  that  of  Roe,  which  the  author  traces  to 
Scandinavia  at  an  early  date.  Much  interesting  matter  is  preserved  in  this 
pamphlet.

DEATHS. 


Nathan  Gillette  Pond,  Esq.,  bom  in 
New  York,  May  31,  1832:  married  in 
Milford,  Conn.,  November  11,  1866; 
died  in  Milford,  Conn.,  July  29,  1894. 
Third  in  descent  from  Charles  Pond, 
of  Revolutionary  fame.  Seventh  in 
descent  from  Theophilus  Eaton,  first 
Governor  of  New  Haven  Colony.  Sixth 
in  descent  from  Sir  Charles  Hobby, 
Colonel  of  Massachusetts  regiment  un- 
der General  Nicholson,  in  the  Port 
Royal  Expedition,  1710,  was  knighted 
July  9,  1706,  "for  good  service  done 
the  Crown  in  New  England."  Sixth  in 
descent  &om  Capt.  John  MUes,  who 
served  under  Major  Robert  Treat  in  the 

great  swamp  fight.  He  was  the  son  of 
harles  Hobby  and  Martha  Gillette 
Pond.  At  the  age  of  21  he  went  into 
business  in  New  York  city;  but  a 
varied  success  led  him  to  a  country  life, 
and  for  years  he  was  a  breeder  of  thor- 
oughbred cattle — short  horns  and  Jer- 
seys— whose  pedigrees  he  searched  as 
carefully  as  he  did  in  later  years  those 
of  his  fellow -men.  He  conceived  the 
idea  of  the  "Memorial  Bridge"  built 
in  Milford,  Conn.,  over  the  Wepowage, 
at  the  place  where  the  settlers  first 
crossed  on  their  entry  into  the  land  of 
their  new  homes.  The  bridge  was  dedi- 
cated in  1889,  on  the  260th  anniversary 
of  the  settlement  of  the  town,  and  is  a 
fitting  monument  to  one  who  labored 
so  long  and  faithfully  to  accomplish  it. 
The  "Taylor  Library"  now  being 
built  is  largely  due  to  Mr.  Pond's  efforts 
in  behalf  of  Milford.  The  ancestral 
tablets  he  prepared  are  marvels  of  com- 
pleteness, and  are  invaluable  to  their 
fortunate  possessors.  His  books,  "  The 
Old  Tombstones  of  Milford"  and  "Ye 
Story  of  ye  Memorial,"  are  of  great  in- 
terest to  antiquarians  as  well  as  to 
descendants  of  the  settlers  of  New 
Haven  colony. 

Mr.  Pond  married  in  1866  Sophia  M. 
Mooncy  (of  Revolutionary  and  colonial 
ancestry  in  New  Hampshire),  by  whom 
he  had  eight  children.  Owing  to  his 
peculiar  belief  regarding  life  and  death, 
no  clergyman  was  in  official  attendance 
at  his  funeral,  although  many  of  that 


profession,  warm  and  lifelong  friends, 
were  present.  In  accordance  with  an 
oft- repeated  request,  the  exercises  were 
conducted  by  the  Hon.  George  M.  Gunn, 
a  neighbor,  friend,  and  a  fellow  society 
man. 

Mr.  Pond  was  a  charter  member  of 
both  New  York  and  Connecticut  Socie- 
ties of  Colonial  Wars;  and  has  been 
greatly  instrumental  in  reviving  the 
Connecticut  "Society  of  Cincinnati." 
In  regard  to  >lr.  Pond's  connection 
with  the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati,  I 
quote  Irom  a  letter  received  since  writ- 
ing the  above : 

"  Mr.  Pond  was  associated  with  Gen. 
D wight  Morris,  Hon.  A.  W.  Merwin, 
Rev.  A.  N.  Lewis,  and  others,  in  re- 
viving the  disbanded  Society  of  the 
Cincinnati  in  Connecticut  from  the 
initiatory  movement  in  1888  to  its 
restoration  by  the  General  Society  in 
1893.  He  was  indefatigable  in  laboring 
for  the  desired  result.  His  genealogical 
skill  rendered  his  services  peculiarly 
valuable.  The  Society  could  have 
spared  any  of  its  members  better  than 
Mr.  Pond.  He  was  treasurer  of  the 
Society,  and  a  member  of  the  executive 
committee  of  the  General  Society.  Mr. 
Pond  will  be  succeeded  by  his  eldest 
son,  Charles  Hobby  Pond,  of  New  York 
city.'

James  Bartlett  Shafleigh,  Esq.,  one  of 
the  best  known  citizens  of  Somersworth, 
N.  H.,  died  in  that  city  August  2,  1894. 
He  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  Alexan- 
der Shapleigh  the  emigrant  ancestor, 
who  came  to  this  country  from  Devon- 
shire, England,  in  1636,  and  settled  in 
Kittery,  and  son  of  Samuel  Shapleigh, 
one  of  the  earliest  settlers  in  Lebanon, 
Me.  He  was  bom  in  that  town  Feb- 
ruary 20,  1806,  and  was  consequently 
at  the  time  of  his  death  89  years,  6 
months  and  14  days  of  age.  Mr.  Shap- 
leigh retained  his  mental  and  physical 
powers  unimpaired  to  near  the  close  of 
life ;  and  during  his  long  and  active  life 
he  never  had  occasion  to  require  the 
services  of  a  physician  until  within  a 
few  days  of  his  death.

it  being  the  accumulated  gatherings  of  nearly  a  dozen  years*  gleaning  among  the 
wills  stored  in  Somerset  House.  And  1  have  quoted  largely  from  the  will  of 
John  Sedley  (1530-1532)  for  the  reason  that  it  is  a  very  good  specimen  of  the 
will  of  a  pious  gentleman  of  that  period,  and  it  may  interest  the  many  **  good 
Bostonians  '*  and  others  of  New  England  and  New  York  and  elsewhere  in  the 
United  States  who  can  claim  a  descent  from  him  to  learn  what  pains  he  took 
for  the  welfare  of  his  soul,  his  father^s  and  mother's  souls,  the  souls  of  hitt 
grandfather  and  grandmother  and  all  Christian  souls,  by  founding  chailties, 
establishing  obites  and  directing  the  saying  and  singing  of  masses  and  diriges. 
It  was  his  great-granddaughter,  Muriel  Sedley,  who  became  the  second  wife  of

From  the  late  Col.  Cliester's  extracts  from  the  P.  R.  of  St.  Leonard's,  Shore- 
ditch  (through  the  kindness  of  Dr.  Marshall)  I  gathered  the  following : 

Mar:  1617  Juue  18  Richard  Saltonstall  Esq.  and  Elizabeth  Bassano 
(Hoxton). 

Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  the  Lord  Mayor  of  London,  was  a  member  of  the 
Skinners  Company  and  a  Merchant  Adventurer.  He  was  admitted  to  Freedom 
18  December  5^^  Edw.  VI  (1551).  John  Saltonstall,  son  of  Edward  Saltonstall 
of  Staines,  Middlesex,  yeoman,  was  apprenticed  to  him  Xmas  1564  for  eight 
years.  Richard,  son  of  Richard,  Saltonstall  was  sworn  31  May  1580  by  patri- 
mony of  his  said  father  and  paid  for  his  admission.  Under  date  November  20, 
1599, 1  found  this :  **  M<^.  that  whereas  at  the  Request  of  the  Right  honourable 
S^.  Richard  Saltonskall  late  Lord  Maior,  on  the  behalfe  of  the  Lady  Maioresse,

John  Held  shoulde  be  admitted  into  the  freedome  and  liberties  of  the  City  of

Elizabeth  Grave,  June  18,  1587  {ante  vol.  48,  page  499). — 

[I  have  no  doubt  that  the  above  widow,  Elizabeth  Grave,  was  that  unnamed 
wife  of  Richard  Grave  referred  to  in  the  will  of  John  Elyott  of  Stortford  par- 
sonage (1557)  of  wliich  I  gave  an  abstract  in  Register  for  July  1894  (p.  390), 
and  John  Elyott,  her  eldest  son  (likewise  referred  to)  was,  we  may  infer,  her 
son  by  a  previous  marriage.  If  this  is  a  correct  inference  we  are  still  left  in 
the  dark  as  to  the  name  of  her  former  husband  and  his  exact  relationship  to 
the  rest  of  the  Eliot  family.  Hekry  F.  Waters.]

[I  have  had  for  many  years  the  notes  of  wills  of  Col.  William  Willoaghby 
and  William  Willoaghby,  his  son,  the  father  and  brother  of  oar  Deputy  Gover- 
nor Francis  Willoaghby.  Only  recently,  however,  have  I  come  upon  the  will 
of  Mrs.  Mary  Brickenden  who,  it  is  evident,  had  been  the  widow  and  executrix 
of  the  second  William  Willoaghby.  Her  description  of  the  house  and  malt 
house  iu  Wacklington  (or  Watlin^ton)  street,  Portsmouth,  and  her  mention  of 
her  husband's  nephew  Nehemiab  Willoughby,  will  be  considered  sufficient  proof 
of  that.  She  also  mentions  her  former  husband's  niece  Sarah  Kempf eild.  This, 
of  course,  was  that  **  daughter  Camfteld"  mentioned  in  our  Gov.  Willoughby's 
will.  It  was  my  good  fortune  to  find,  a  good  many  years  ago,  in  the  office  of 
the  Clerk  of  the  Courts  for  Middlesex  County,  Massachusetts,  at  East  Cam- 
bridge, in  the  Bundle  of  Court  Papers  for  Sept.-Dec.  1684  (i?«  Francis  Wil- 
loughby*s  executors  vs.  Laurence  Hammond),  a  Bond  of  Francis  Willoaghby  of 
Charlestown,  mercnant,  given  1  February  1667,  unto  Mrs.  Pamcll  Nowell  of 
CharlestowD,  in  the  sum  of  t^vo  hundred  pounds,  for  the  payment  of  one  hun- 
dred pounds  on  the  1**  day  of  February  1668 ;  signed  ffl: :  Willoughby,  witnessed 
by  Laur.  Hammond  and  Richard  Waldron,  assigned  by  Mrs.  Pamell  Nowell  to 
her  daughter  Mrs.  Mary  Long,  the  relict  of  Mr.  John  Long,  26  Dec.  1684,  and 
endorsed  with  a  receipt  by  Pamell  Nowell,  July  7, 1671,  in  part  payment  from 
Mrs.  Margaret  Willoughby,  fifty  pounds.  Attached  to  Gov.  Willoughby*s  sig- 
nature was  an  impression  of  his  armorial  seal :  Fretty :  Crest,  a  lion's  head 
between  two  wings  expanded.  This  crest,  difi*ering  from  those  usually  given 
to  the  Willaughby  families,  was,  I  found,  somewhat  similar  to  that  j^ven  in 
Burke's  General  Armory  (edition  of  1878)  to  Sir  Francis  Willoaghby,  knighted  by 
Sir  Arthur  Chichester,  Lord  Deputy  of  Ireland,  30  October  1610.  Later,  finding 
that  Mrs.  Salisbury,  of  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  was  interested  in  this  family 
and  gathering  all  she  could  about  them,  I  made  known  my  discovery  to  her, 
referring  also  to  Burke's  General  Armory,  and  at  her  request  and  by  permission  of 
the  Clerk  of  the  Courts  for  Middlesex,  I  secured  the  services  of  my  friend  Mr. 
Henry  Mitchell,  the  well  known  seal  engraver  of  Boston,  who  got  a  good  im- 
pression and  made  an  excellent  fac-simile  of  the  seal.  I  have  since  recalled  to 
mind  that  I  have  seen  an  impression  of  the  same  seal  (or  one  vastly  like  it\  in 
the  Probate  Files  either  of  Suffolk  or  Essex  Co.,  and  it  has  been  depicted  in  the 
Heraldic  Journal  (a  copy  of  which  I  have  not  now  at  hand),  as  a  seal  bearing 
arms  which  had  not  then  been  identified. 

In  the  same  bundle  of  Court  Papers  to  which  I  have  referred,  I  found  also  a 
copy  of  the  will  of  Mrs.  Margaret  Hammond,  21  August  1680,  and  a  Declaration 
of  a  Trust  12  May  1662,  Thomas  Bragne  of  South  wick,  Co.  of  Hamps.  Clark 
and  William  Webb,  citizen  and  grocer  of  London,  beginning — **  Whereas  flVan-

Webb,  with  their  armorial  seals  attached,  and  witnessed  by  Nathaniel  Camfleld 
and  Xehemiah  Willoughby. 

Many  years  ago,  also,  I  found  in  the  Registry  of  Probate  at  Salem  (Essex  Co. 
Prob.  Keg.  303  L.  270)  a  copy  of  the  will  of  John  Amald  of  Ix>ndon,  in  Thames 
Street  dweller,  mariner,  but  now  resident  in  New  England,  in  the  town  of  Salem, 
and  bound  to  sea,  12  October  1680  (proved  28  January  1694-5)  who  mentioned 
cousin  Nehemiah  Willoughby  of  Salem,  referring  to  a  l^acy  left  by  **  my 
grandfather  John  Taller  of  Woppin  shipwrite"  deceased,  with  l^racies  left  to 
brothers  Thomas  and  Samuel,  both  deceased,  **  falling  to  me  their  survivor.** 
Ever  since  I  came  to  England  I  have  kept  a  note  of  this  at  hand,  hoping,  some 
time  or  other,  to  come  across  that  will  of  **  John  Taller  of  Woppin  shipwrite,** 
the  grandfather  of  John  Amald  and  possibly  grandfather  also  of  NehemiaJi

Item,  I  give  to  my  grandson  Jonathan  Willoughbie  one  hundred  pounds,

Jonathan,   Nehemiah   and    William    Willoughby,    to   be   equally   divided 
amongst  them.     It  is  my  further  will  and  meaning  that  the  legacies  herein 
before  given  to  my  son  Wil lough bie's  four  children  last  before  mentioned 
(that  is  to  say)  Nehemiah,  William  and  his  said  two  chihiren  by  this  his 
last  wife,  shall  be  paid  unto  them  within  ten  months  next  after  my  decease. 
Provided  always  that  their  father,  Mr.  Francis  Willoughby  do  first  give  a 
full  and  general  release  to  my  executors  of  all  accompts,  debts  and  demands 
whatsoever,  except  only  in  matters  about  the  trade  wherein  I  am  concerned 
with  Sir  William  Warren,  touching  which  affair  I  desire  Mr.  Gregory  Page 
to  see  that  right  be  done  unto  me  and  my  executors.     I  give  to  my  grand 
daughter  Sarah  Camfeild  the  sum  of  sixty  pounds  to  be  paid  unto  her  out 
my  City  debt  so  soon  as  the  same  can  be  received.     I  give  and  bequeath  unto 
Owen  Taylor  the  sum  of  ten  pounds  and  to  his  brothers  and  sisters  twenty 
shillings  apiece.     I  give  unto  my  cousin  Caleb  Taylor  forty  shillings  and 
to  each  of  my  servants  that  shall  be  with  me  at  the  time  of  my  decease 
twenty  shillings  apiece.     I  do  give  unto  forty  ministers  in  a  list  named  and 
here  inclosed  twenty  shillings  apiece.     I  give  unto  M^  Ryder  ten  pounds.     I 
give  twenty  pounds  to  Captain  Potter,  William  Hooper  and  Thomas  French, 
to  be  distributed  and  disposed  of  by  them  and  others  of  my  Christian  friends 
in  Wapping,  with  whom  in  a  special  manner  I  walked  and  had  Christian 
society  in  my  life  time,  being  met  together  &c.     My  executor  to  pay  forty 
shillings  for  a  dinner  to  be  had  at  such  their  meeting  together  upon  that 
occasion.     I  give  forty  pounds  to  be  distributed  amongst  poor  suffering 
godly   ministers    who   are   laid   aside  and  cannot  hold  their  liberties  for 
preaching  whereby  they  got  their  livelihoods.     To  my  daughter  Rebecca

my  decease.    To  Mrs.  Judith  Bowrey  and  Mrs.  Jorden  ten  pounds  apiece. 
I  make  my  sou  John  Taylor  executor.  Penn,  29. 

[According  to  the  foregoing  will  Mr.  Taylor  seems  to  have  been  the  maternal 
grandfather  of  f oar  of  Gov.  Willoaghby's  children,  viz. :  Jonathan,  Neliemlah 
and  William  WlUoaghby  and  Sarah  Camfield.  The  two  children  of  Gov.  WU- 
longhby  by  his  last  wife,  referred  to  by  this  testator,  were,  I  suppose,  Francis 
and  Susanna,  who  also,  it  may  be  noted,  were  mentioned  In  the  will  of  their- 
aunt  Jane  Locke,  given  In  my  Gleanings  for  Jaly  1893  (Reg.,  Vol.  47,  p.  418). 
Mr.  Thomas  Bragne,  whose  name  appears  In  that  Declaration  of  Trust  which  I 
have  referred  to,  married  Hannah  Locke,  another  sister  of  Mrs.  Margaret  Wll- 
loughby.  On  pp.  415-416  of  the  same  number  of  the  Bbgistbr  may  be  found 
the  will  of  John  Dersley  of  Stepney,  who  mentions  John  Taylor  of  Wapping  as 
occupying  certain  tenements  in  Wapping  In  which  Mr.  Dersley  had  an  interest. 
He  was  undoubtedly  the  father  of  the  John  and  Thomas  Dearsly  referred  to 
in  M'.  Taylor's  will  and  was  the  father,  likewise,  of  Anne  the  wife  of  Mr.  William 
Ting.  As  he  mentioned  also  Capt.  Edward  Johnson  and  as  the  Johnsons  of  Kent 
were  evidently  connected  with  the  Locke  family,  to  which  Gov.  Willoughby's 
last  wife  belonged,  I  think  I  have,  in  these  two  groups  of  wills  (t.  e.  those  now 
presented  and  the  wills  given  on  pp.  415-418  of  Reg.  for  July  1893)  Introduced

King,  136. 

[In  the  Probate  Act  Book  testator  is  called  John  White  lately  of  Boston  in 
New  England,  but  on  a  voyage  {in  intinere)  in  the  parish  of  Stepney,  Middlesex, 
•deceased.  The  reference  to  this  will  was  given  me  by  my  late  friend,  Mr. 
iFrancis  Grigson  many  years  ago.  H.  F.  W. 

This  will  is  that  of  one  who  doubtless  was  one  of  the  first  of  the  pupils  of 
John  Eliot,  the  Apostle.  He  was  brought  to  Eliot  by  his  father,  also  named 
Wampus,  requesting  he  be  educated  by  the  English  and  taught  to  be  obe- 
-dient.  The  first  part  of  the  request  seems  to  have  been  accompl&hed,  as  Wam- 
pus became  proficient  in  English  ways  and  customs.  Through  his  knowledge 
•of  English  his  relatives  and  other  Indians  gave  him  authority  to  look  after  their 
land  interests,  and  the  attention  he  bestowed  on  the  matter  evidently  gave  him 
an  idea  that  he  had  an  ownership  in  the  same,  as  evidenced  by  his  will  and  vari- 
ous documents,  among  which  n^ay  be  mentioned  those  in  the  Mass.  Archives, 
in  which  are  given  depositions  on  the  subject  by  different  Indians,  as  early  as 
1672.  His  wife,  whose  name  was  Ann  Praske,  was  the  daughter  of  Romanock, 
the  sachem  of  Aspatuck  and  Sasquaugh  (Fairfield,  Conn.),  and  through  this 
marriage,  which  is  recorded  in  the  Boston  records,  he  claimed  rights  there 
which  were  a  subject  of  correspondence  between  the  Connecticut  authorities 
and  the  home  government,  and  proceedings  were  pending  in  Connecticut  at  the 
time  of  Wampus's  death. 

His  wife  Ann's  estate  was  probated  in  Suffolk  County,  Mass.,  in  1676,  and  the 
«ouple  also  had  property  in  Boston,  as  evidenced  by  the  Sufiblk  Deeds. 

The  will  mentions  land  in  New  England,  which  the  writer  of  the  will  calls 
Assenham  East-stock,  this  is  Assanamascock  of  the  Nipmug  country,  or  the 
Hassanamisco  Indian  tract,  and  this  is  the  key  to  the  Sutton  (Mass.)  Indian 
grant,  which  solution  evidently  escaped  the  reverend  authors  of  the  history  of 
that  town.  This  bequest  was  the  subject  of  much  controversy  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts General  Court,  and  was  finally  settled  in  favor  of  the  Indian  grantees 
through  the  admission  of  the  Dudley  family  to  an  interest  and  share  in  the 
grant.  The  fable  of  Sutton  deriving  its  name  from  a  Dr.  Sutton  who  kindly 
ministered  to  Wampus  on  a  return  voyage  from  England,  and  that  Wampus 
suggested  the  name  through  gratitude,  hardly  looks  plausible,  as  Wampus  had 
been  dead  a  quarter  of  a  century  before  Sutton  received  its  name. 

Wampus  was  imprisoned  in  England  for  debt,  in  Massachusetts  for  riotous 
and  unruly  conduct,  and  breaking  jail  in  Boston,  created  excitement  at  Cam- 
bridge meeting-house  in  King  Philip's  War  by  his  behavior.

The  story  of  his  life  and  adrentares  make  a  more  lengthy  article  than  this 
note  will  allow,  and  seems  to  have  escaped  the  notice  of  previous  writers.  Mr. 
Drake,  in  his  History  of  the  Indians,  does  not  mention  him,  and  Savage,  in  his 
Genealogical  Dictionary,  makes  but  a  line  of  mention.

at  the  above  reference,  a  description  of  the  two  documents,  and  remarks 
suggested  by  them.  The  deed  with  the  Washington  arms  is  a  lease  for  two 
thousand  years,  on  the  payment  of  one  red  rose  each  St.  John  the  Baptist*s  day, 
of  land  in  Sulgrave.  It  is  dated  43  Elizabeth  and  signed  by  Robert  Washington 
and  Lawrence  Washington.  **The  deeds  were  found,"  says  the  Courant,  "in 
searching  among  a  heap  of  documents  belonging  to  certain  ladies,  and  a  friend 
of  theirs  showed  them  to  Mr.  J.  C.  C.  Smith  of  the  Probate  Registry,  Somerset 
House,  London Through  Mr.  Smith  they  came  to  their  present  owner." 

The  Courant  adds:  "The  New  York  Tribune  of  the  19th  instant  gives  from 
the  London  Times  a  long  account  by  Ernest  G.  Atkinson,  of  certain  depositions 
found  in  the  Exchequer  Records  bearing  on  matters  connected  with  the  Wash- 
ington family.  The  first  witness  named  is  Anne  Washington,  widow  of  Robert 
Washington,  and  the  name  Pargiter  also  occurs.  The  whole  article  is  of  in- 
terest, but  if  the  writer  had  had  before  him  the  genealogical  chart  prepared  by 
Mr.  Waters  which  accompanies  his  paper,.... he  would  have  seen  that  he  was 
looking  for  the  descent  of  the  emigrants  of  Virginia  along  a  wrong  line.*'

George  Rathent  of  the  parish  of  St.  John's  in  Glaston  in  the  Co.  of 
Somerset,  26  June  1651,  proved  30  October  1651.  My  body  to  be  buried 
in  the  churchyard  of  St.  John's  &c.  To  my  daughter  Dorothy  Rqbyns 
and  her  child  forty  shillings,  and  all  the  goods  that  I  have  in  the  house  that 
I  lived  in,  in  the  churchyard,  I  give  to  said  danghter  Dorothy  Robins,  and 
my  best  breeches  and  jacket  and  my  best  shoes  to  my  daughter  Dorothy's 
husband  of  Streete.  To  the  wife  of  my  son  Maurice  Rayment  and  her 
child  forty  shillings. 

Item,  I  give  and  bequeath  to  William  Rayment  my  son  that  is  in  New 
England  six  pounds,  to  be  paid  if  ever  he  doth  come  to  Glaston  to  demand 
it.  Item,  I  give  and  bequeath  to  Elizabeth  Rayment  my  daughter  that  is 
in  New  England  twenty  shillings,  to  be  paid  if  ever  she  doth  come  to 
Glaston  to  demand  it.  To  John  Seemer,  the  son  of  William  Seemer, 
twenty  shillings.  To  Luce  Seemer.  the  daughter  of  William  Seemer  of 
the  said  Glaston,  twenty  shillings.  Twenty  shillings  I  give  to  discharge 
my  funeral  expences.  All  the  rest  of  my  goods  &c.  I  give  to  Maurice 
Rayment  my  son,  whom  I  make  my  whole  and  sole  executor.  For  over- 
seers I  do  appoint  William  Seemer  and  William  Billocks.  (Then  follows 
the  date.)  Item,  I  give  to  John  Rayment  my  son  that  is  in  New  England 
one  shilling. 

The  witnesses  were  William  Seemer,  William  Zealee  (by  mark)  and 
George  Rosier.  Grey,  196. 

[Here  we  have  the  family  of  William  and  old  John  Rayment  of  Beverly,  well 
known  to  searchers  of  the  records  at  Salem.  And  I  am  glad  to  see  the  spelling 
conform  to  the  pronunciation  as  I  remember  it  from  earliest  childhood.  Present 
representatives  of  that  family  now  write  their  name  Raymond.  There  was  a 
Richard  Raymond  of  Salem,  who  lived  on  the  south  side  of  Essex  Street,  and 
afterwards  removed  to  Norwalk  and  Saybrook.  But  I  have  never  seen  the 
slightest  evidence  of  a  relationship  between  him  and  these  Rayments  of  Beverly. 
The  above  will  confirms  me  in  this.  I  cannot,  here  and  now,  without  my  Essex 
Co.  notes,  tell  what  became  of  Elizabeth  Rayment,  the  sister  of  William  and 
John,  who  also  went  to  New  England.  Perhaps  some  of  my  friends  at  home 
(for  instance  the  Hon.  John  I.  Baker)  may  be  able  to  tell  ns.  John  Rayment, 
1  believe,  succeeded  to  the  ownership  of  the  farm  belonging  once  to  Thomas 
Scruggs,  one  of  the  Old  Planters,  and  the  old  Rayment  house  (I  hope)  stands 
there  to-day.    I  have  often  passed  It  in  my  walks.  Henry  F.  Waters.] 

Thomas  Smith  of  West  Clandon,  Surrey,  yeoman,  13  June  1 651,  proved 
28  October  1651.  To  the  poor  of  West  Clandon  fifty  shillings  and  to  the 
poor  of  Crauley,  Surrey,  fifty  shillings.  Item,  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my 
brother  John  Smyth,  now  in  New  England  (if  he  shall  be  then  living)  sixty

pounds  shall  be  equally  divided  between  the  children  of  my  brothers  John 
and  Jeremie  aforesaid,  to  be  paid  in  one  year  &c.  To  each  of  my  god- 
children two  shillings  and  six  pence,  to  be  paid  within  half  a  year  &c  1 
do  appoint  my  cousin  Jeremy  Smith,  son  of  my  brother  Jeremy  deceased, 
my  sole  executor,  to  whom  all  the  residue,  and  if  he  be  dead  then  his  chil-

you  enquire  where  their  said  children  are,  to  the  end  you  may  cause  the 
said  sum  and  the  said  diamond  to  be  delivered  unto  them.  More  unto  the 
nephew  of  my  late  husband,  named  Martin  Vander  Bist,  who  hath  dwelt 
with  us  from  the  age  of  seven  or  eight  years,  in  regard  of  the  love  that  I

for  a  seal  to  his  said  uncle,  and  if  he  die  nothing  to  his  heirs. 

Moreover  to  my  brethren  and  sisters. 
First  unto  my  brother  Paul  le  Mercier  who  hath  not  any  charge  and  is 
not  married,  being  by  the  grace  of  God  in  very  good  estate,  and  hath  not 
any  need  of  my  succession  but  for  remembrance  of  me,  I  do  give  him  my 
great  diamond  which  is  set  in  a  ring  of  gold  and  which  I  wear  upon  my 
first  finger,  being  a  stone  which  hath  been  always  esteemed  at  five  hundred 
Livers.  More  unto  my  brother  Peter  le  Mercier  in  regard  he  is  unaccom- 
modated I  do  give  unto  him  for  his  daughters,  if  he  have  any,  if  not  unto 
his  sons,  two  thousand  and  ^wq  hundred  Livers  tournois  and  unto  my  said 
brother  a  Turky,  which  is  a  ring  with  a  little  blue  stone,  which  I  wear  on 
my  little  finger.  More  unto  my  brother  Francis  le  Mercier,  who  is  not 
married,  I  do  give  unto  him  one  Gimboll  ring  of  two  rings  and  is  round,  I 
do  wear  it  on  my  first  finger,  and  eighteen  hundred  Livers  Tournois.  More 
unto  my  brother  Daniel  de  Le  Mercier,  who  is  married,  I  do  give  him  a 
Gimboll  ring  of  three  rings,  which  is  a  ring  which  I  wear  on  my  finger 
Bezt  my  little  finger.    I  do  also  give  him  eighteen  hundred  Livers  tournois,

mud  because  it  is  not  long  since  he  was  married  and  that  he  cannot  have 
many  children  and  that  I  hope  without  doubt  that  he  will  endeavor  to  ad- 
vance himself  by  the  vocation  wherein  it  hath  pleased  God  to  set  him, 
whom  I  do  pray  to  bless  him  and  us  all,  I  do  refer  to  the  discretion  of  you 
my  brethren,  executors  of  this  my  Testament  by  the  grace  of  God,  to  give 
him  a  part  of  this  my  gift  or  to  put  it  forth  at  profit  for  his  daughters  in 
ease  he  have  any,  if  not,  his  sons,  as  yon  shall  find  good.     More  unto  my 
•ister  Jane  le  Mercier,  the  wife  of  my  brother  Priaux,  I  do  give  unto  her 
my  saphire,  which  is  a  ring  which  I  wear  on  the  finger  next  the  little  finger 
and  is  like  a  diamond.     Also  I  do  give  unto  her  for  her  daughters  or  sons 
I  do  likewise  refer  to  your  discretions  in  regard  she  hath  many  children, 
how  be  it,  God  be  praised,  she  is  in  good  estate,  nevertheless  I  do  give  unto 
them  eighteen  hundred  Livers  for  the  advancement  of  her  said  children. 
More  unto  my  sister  Elizabeth  Le  Mercier  who  is  a  widow,  and,  God  be 
praised,  also  in  very  good  estate  and  hath  not  any  great  charge  of  children, 
I  do  give  unto  her  my  ruby,  which  is  a  ring  which  I  wear  on  my^first 
finger,  and  unto  her  daughters  one  thousand  Livers  tonrnois,  or  in  default 
of  her  daughters  unto  her  or  her  sons  as  you  shall  find  good,  for  her  eldest 
son,  named  John,  is  already  well  provided  for  of  his  father's  goods  and 
therefore  it  seemeth  unto  me  to  advance  her  son  Paul  in  case  his  sisters  do 
die,  I  do  refer  it  to  the  two  executors  of  my  said  Testament     More  unto 
my  sister  Judith  le  Mercier  a  little  diamond  which  is  on  a  ring  which  I 
wear  on  my  first  finger  and  unto  her  for  her  daughters,  in  case  she  have 
any,  if  not,  to  her  sons  eighteen  hundred  Livers  tonrnois.     More  unto  my 
sister  Anne  Le  Mercier  in  regard  I  have  brought  her  up  with  me  I  pray 
you  my  brethren  and  sisters  take  it  not  ill  in  case  I  do  advantage  and  pre- 
fer her  before  you  in  regard  of  the  good  and  faithful  service  which  she  hath 
done  me,  I  being  not  able  to  do  it  when  she  was  married  in  regard. I  was 
under  the  Law  of  my  late  husband  having;  not  since  that  time  wanted  affec- 
tion towards  her  but  power,  which  I  do  desire  to  witness  unto  her  in  this 
my  last  will,  I  do  give  unto  her  for  her  daughters,  or  in  default  of  daugh- 
ters unto  her  sons,  the  sum  of  three  thousand  Livers  tonrnois  and  unto  her 
my  ewer  of  silver  gilt  and  my  little  silver  cup  which  my  godfather  gave  me 
(and  other  articles).     More  unto  her  daughter  Mary,  my  god  daughter, 
five  hundred  Livers  tonrnois  and  a  little  ring  of  gold  which  I  do  wear  upon 
my  little  finger,  which  her  mother  gave  me  when  she  was  married,  being  a 
love  ring  of  gold,  also  my  silver  girdle  with  all  those  things  which  dei>end 
thereupon.     And  if  her  said  daughter  Mary  do  die  and  that  she  have  not 
any  other  daughters  my  said  girdle  shall  be  given  unto  the  eldest  daughter 
of  my  sister  Hester  and  my  said  sister  Ann  shall  inherit  or  have  the  &vq 
hundred  Livers  and  the  said  ring.     More  unto  my  sister  Hester  le  Mercier 
my  pointed  diamond,  which  is  a  ring  which  I  wear  on  the  finger  next  my 
little  finger,  and  eighteen  hundred  Livers  Tonrnois  for  her  daughters  in 
case  she  have  any,  if  not,  to  her  sons.     God  bless  you  all  and  me.     More- 
over if  it  shall  happen  that  any  of  my  brethren  or  sisters  do  die  without 
children  I  do  desire  that  that  which  I  have  bequeathed  unto  them  shall  re- 
turn amongst  you  my  brethren  and  sisters  to  be  equally  divided  amongst 
you  unless  any  amongst  you  were  unaccommodated  and  that  those  which 
are  in  good  estiite  did  assign  or  give  them  their  part  of  their  free  will. 
And  if  the  fathers  and  mothers  of  the  children  of  my  brethren  and  sisters 
here  before  mentioned  be  in  good  estate  I  desire  that  the  interest  of  the 
money  be  added  to  the  principal  sum  of  the  said  children  for  the  augment- 
ing of  the  said  sum  for  the  said  children,  but  if  their  fathers  or  mothers  be 


140  Oenealogical  Oleaning^  in  England.  [Jan. 

UDaocommodated  the  said  fathers  or  mothers  shall  enjoy  the  said  interest 
for  the  bringing  up  of  their  said  children  in  the  fear  of  God,  which  God 
grant  I  do  will  and  understand  that  my  said  brethren  and  sisters  here  be- 
fore named  shall  be  heirs  of  their  children  but  I  will  not,  if  any  of  my  said 
brethren  do  die  without  children,  that  the  succession  which  they  shall  have 
had  or  enjoyed  by  me  shall  go  to  their  wives  or  out  of  the  '*  Linage  "  nor 
also  if  any  of  my  sisters  do  die  without  children  they  may  not  give  the  said 
succession  unto  their  husbands  but  I  will  that  the  same  shall  return  amongst 
those  which  shall  remain  of  yon  to  be  given  to  your  children  and  that  you 
share  all  equally  together.  Moveables  to  be  sold  to  make  up  these  sums 
if  not  ready  money  enough.  And  if  it  shall  please  the  Lord  so  much  to 
favour  us  as  to  give  us  peace  and  that  I  can  be  wholly  out  of  the  business 
and  that  I  knew  what  were  due  unto  me  for  some  unclear  parcels,  as  you 
shall  perceive  by  an  extract  herein  enclosed,  I  might  (God  willing)  more 
amply  and  clearly  declare  my  will.  And  when  I  shall  have  news  that  my 
moveables  sent  into  your  quarters  are  well  arrived  I  may  also  (God  willing) 
dispose  of  my  said  moveables,  plate  and  apparrell  belonging  to  my  head, 
but  until  then  I  leave  the  same  undisposed,  for  the  making  up  of  the  said 
sums  &c 

Now  the  reason  that  I  do  rather  give  unto  my  nieces  than  unto  my 
nephews  is  that  the  fathers  and  mothers  which  do  love  their  children  ought 
to  have  a  care  to  cause  their  sons  to  learn  some  honest  vocation  to  the  end, 
with  the  help  of  God,  in  time  to  attain  unto  that  which  shall  be  praise- 
worthy, for  ordinarily  daughters  are  not  employed  in  such  vocations,  and 
specially  those  which  are  come  of  good  families,  unless  necessity  do  there- 
unto urge  them  and  therefore  when  they  have  some  thing  for  their  mar- 
riage they  are  sought  after  by  honest  men,  howbeit  I  will  not  give  this 
vanity  unto  myself  that  that  little  which  I  give  them  may  greatly  advance 
them  but  I  prais  God  for  his  goodness  which  he  hath  done  unto  me  and  do 
pray  him  with  all  my  heart  to  continue  them  unto  me  in  his  blessing  and  to 
his  honor  and  glory  the  salvation  of  my  poor  soul  and  the  edification  of  my 
neighbor,  in  all  charity  beseeching  him  also  to  give  me  grace  to  live  and 
die  in  his  fear  and  to  grant  me  his  heavenly  kingdom  at  the  end  of  my 
days  and  that  my  brethren  and  sisters,  nephews  and  nieces  and  others  my 
friends  may  after  my  death  enjoy  thereof  in  all  prosperity  and  blessings  of 
God  to  the  grace  and  salvation  of  their  souls.  Amen.  I  do  pray  my 
brother  Paul  Le  Mercier  and  my  brother  Francis  Le  Mercier  to  be  execu- 
tors of  this  my  Testament,  for  my  brother  Peter  Le  Mercier  doth  not  dwell 
in  those  places  but  in  Ireland,  God  give  us  all  grace  to  do  well,  and  if  I  do 
not  die  here  the  two  hundred  Livers  which  I  do  give  unto  the  poor  I  do 
will  that  the  same  be  given  to  the  poor  of  the  church  of  Hampton  in  Eng- 
land. 

Proved  by  the  oaths  of  Paul  and  Francis  Le  Mercier,  Letters  of  Admin- 
istration which  had  been  granted  to  the  said  Paul  22  September  1628  as  if 
she  had  been  intestate  having  been  first  brought  in  and  renounced.

SKETCH  OF  THE  LIFE  OF  HON.  JOHN  CHANDLER. 

John  Chandler,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was  the  third  child 
of  Hon.  John  Chandler,  of  New  London,  Ct.,  by  his  wife  Hannah, 
daughter  of  John  Gardiner,  the  third  proprietor  of  Gardiner's  Island, 
in  the  province  of  New  York,*  who  was  a  grandson  of  Lieut.  Lion 
Gardiner,  the  author  of  the  "Relation  of  the  Pequot  Warres,^ 
published  in  the  23d  volume  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society's 
Collections. 

When  about  eleven  years  old  his  father  removed  to  Worcester, 
Mass.,  and  soon  gained  the  confidence  and  respect  of  his  neighbors 
in  his  new  home,  where  "he  held  the  principal  county  oflSces." 
The  son  was  honored  in  like  manner.  He  was  town  treasurer  from 
1753  to  1760 ;  town  clerk  from  1764  to  1768  ;  and  county  treasurer 
from  1762  to  1765.  He  held  the  office  of  sheriff  of  Worcester 
County  from  1751  to  1762,  and  was  Judge  of  Probate  from  1762 
to  1774.  He  was  a  colonel  in  the  militia,  and  served  in  the  French 
war.  On  the  alarm  in  August,  1757,  for  the  relief  of  Fort  William 
Henry,  he  marched  as  colonel  of  a  regiment.  Dr.  Chandler  prints 
the  following  extract  from  the  Boston  News-Letter  of  Oct.  16, 
1760 :  "  We  hear  from  Worcester  that  on  the  evening  of  the  9th 
inst.  the  house  of  Mr.  Sheriff  Chandler,  and  others  of  that  town, 
were  beautifully  illuminated,  on  account  of  the  success  of  his  Majesty's 
Arms  in  America."  f  This  illumination  was  in  honor  of  the  capture 
of  Montreal  by  Lord  Amherst,  September  8,  1760. 

Lincoln,  in  his  History  of  Worcester,  speaking  of  him,  says: 
"He  succeeded  to  the  military,  municipal,  and  some  of  the  judicial 
offices  of  his  father,  and  inherited  the  characteristic  traits  of  his 
ancestors.  He  was  cheerful  in  temperament,  engaging  in  manner, 
hospitable  as  a  citizen,  friendly  and  kind  as  a  neighbor,  industrious 
and  enterprising  as  a  merchant,  and  successfrd  as  a  man  of  busi- 
ness." X

142  John  Chandler.  [April, 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  he  adhered  to  the  Crown.  In 
1774  he  was  obliged  to  leave  his  family  at  Worcester  and  take 
refuge  in  Boston.  "In  1776,"  says  Sabine,  "he  accompanied 
the  Royal  army  to  Halifax,  and  two  years  after  was  proscribed  and 
banished."  *  Dr.  Chandler,  in  his  Chandler  Genealogy,  says  that 
he  "  was  one  of  the  six  inhabitants  of  Worcester  that  were  included 
in  the  act  of  banishment  forbidding  the  return  of  the  former  citizens 
of  the  State  who  had  joined  the  enemy ;  requiring  them,  if  they  once 
revisited  their  native  country,  forthwith  to  depart,  and  denouncing 
the  penalty  of  death  if  they  should  be  found  a  second  time  within  this 
jurisdiction.  Of  these  six,  were  his  sons  Rufus  and  William,  his 
brother-in-law  James  Putnam,  and  his  nephew  Dr.  William  Paine. 
His  son  William  and  Dr.  William  Paine  had  permission  and  did 
return  to  Worcester.  Dr.  Paine  regained  the  confidence  and  long 
enjoyed  the  respect  and  esteem  of  the  community."  f  "  ^^  *™ 
assured,"  says  the  Hon.  Lorenzo  Sabine,  "that  while  he  was  at 
Boston  he  was  supported  for  a  considerable  time  by  the  sale  of  silver 
plate  sent  him  by  his  family,  and  that  when  he  left  home  he  had  no 
intention  of  quitting  the  country.  .  .  .  His  adherence  to  the 
Crown,  and  his  departure  for  England,  seem  to  have  been  his  only 
offences  ;  yet  he  was  treated  as  harshly  as  though  he  had  borne  arms 
•in  the  field.  The  late  President  Dwight  spoke  of  Colonel  Chandler 
and  his  family  as  distinguished  for  talents  and  virtue.  He  repre- 
sented to  the  Commissioners  of  Loyalist  Claims  that  the  losses  of 
real  and  personal  estate  were  £11,067  sterling,  and  of  business, 
offices,  etc,  about  £6,000  sterling  more.  His  statement  was  so 
moderate,  in  comparison  with  many  others  of  the  same  nature,  that 
he  was  allowed  the  full  amount,  and  was  afterwards  known  in  Eng- 
land as  'the  honest  Refiigee.'"  J  In  1783,  he  had  £50  added  to 
his  allowance,  and  this  at  a  time  when  the  sum  paid  to  Refugees 
was  reduced  from  £80,000  to  £38,000. §  He  died  at  London  Sept. 
26,  1800,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  his  age.  He  was  buried  at 
Islington,  where  a  monument  with  a  suitable  inscription  marks  his 
grave. 

Hon.  John  Chandler  married  first  March  4,  1740-1,  Dorothy 
Paine  of  Worcester.  She  was  bom  July  20,  1723,  and  was  a 
daughter  of  Col.  Nicholas  Paine,  of  Bristol,  R.  I.,  and  his  wife 
Sarah,  daughter  of  Timothy  Clark,  of  Boston.  His  wife  Dorothy 
died  at  Worcester,  October  5,  1745.  He  married  second  June  11, 
1746,  Mary  Church,  daughter  of  Col.  Charles  Church,  of  Bristol, 
R.  I.  She  died  at  Worcester  Sept.  18,  1783.  His  children  by  his 
first  wife  Dorothy,  werei  1,  John ;  2,  Gardiner ;  3,  Clark ;  4,  Doro- 
thy, married  Samuel  Ward,  of  Lancaster.  By  his  second  wife,

Letter  from  Col^  Job  |  Cushing 

Sept.  5,  1777. 

The  existence  of  this  letter  was  discovered  by  Prof.  James  Davie 
Butler,  LL.D.,  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  during  his  exten- 
sive researches  regarding  the  battle  of  Bennington.  Prof.  Butler 
says  he  "  has  'stayed  the  very  riping  of  the  time '  for  publishing  this 
letter,  which  authenticates  a  valuable  page  in  history.  Fortified 
with  this  document  descendants  of  Elij^  Houghton,  Silas  Spauld- 
ing,  James  Burt,  Joseph  Priest  and  Silas  Whitcomb  may  secure 
standing  on  an  envied  roll  of  honor.  Moreover,  the  letter,  which 
now  first  goes  to  press,  shows  these  five  men  and  Zebediah  Green  to 
be  each  worthy  of  a  monument ;  since  they  were  six  veritable  Abdiels 
*  faithful  found  among  the  faithless — faithful  only  they,' — nor  number, 
nor  example,  with  them  wrought."  The  triumphant  issue  of  that 
campaign  relieved  the  New  England  States  from  the  heavy  hand  of 
the  draft.  Her  sons,  after  Saratoga,  enlisted  in  the  Continental 
regiments,  and  service  at  home  was  confined  to  the  custody  of 
prisoners. 

Col.  Cushing's  command  was  raised  in  Shrewsbury  and  neighbor- 
ing towns  in  the  northern  section  of  Worcester  county.  The  town  of 
Shrewsbury,  in  the  enthusiasm  accompanjring  the  provincial  resist- 
ance to  the  parliamentary  acts,  had  voted  to  raise  three  companies 
of  infantry.  It  was  impossible  to  do  so ;  but  two  were  raised,  one 
in  the  north  precinct  of  the  town,  now  Boylston,  and  one  in  the 
south  precinct,  which  still  bears  the  original  name  of  the  town. 
These  companies  were  oflScered  and  enlistments  made.  When  the 
call  came  for  action,  known  as  ''  the  Lexington  Alarm,"  even  these

two  companies  were  found  deficient,  and  were  consolidated  into  one 
company  ander  Job  Cnshing  as  captain.  It  went  forward  to  Lex- 
ington,  arriving  after  the  British  had  reached  Boston.  It  formed  a 
portion  of  Gen.  Ward's  command,  was  stationed  at  Cambridge, 
where  it  remained  as  a  reserve  throughout  the  battle  on  Bunker  HOI. 
The  company  saw  service  during  the  siege  of  Boston.  After  the 
evacuation  it  accompanied  the  Continental  army  under  Gen.  Wash- 
ington to  the  Hudson  river. 

The  activity  of  the  British  general,  Lord  Howe,  kept  the  Ameri- 
can commander  busy  on  the  lower  Hudson.  This  left  the  entire  dis- 
position of  military  events  at  the  northward  to  Generals  Lee  and 
Gates,  who  soon  found  themselves  threatened  by  the  march  of  Gen. 
Burgoyne  with  a  well-appointed  army  from  Montreal.  To  meet 
this  emergency  an  earnest  call  was  made  upon  the  New  England 
States  for  new  levies  to  strengthen  the  northern  army.  It  was  thi» 
force,  rendezvoused  at  Bennington,  which  Cushing,  now  Colonel, 
was  endeavoring,  in  accordance  with  instructions  from  the  Massa- 
chusetts Council,  to  recruit.  This  letter  tells  more  eloquently  than 
is  otherwise  possible  the  lamentable  result.  At  the  same  tune,  it 
places  on  indelible  records  the  names  of  the  six  brave  men  wha 
stood  true  to  the  cause  in  the  hour  of  extreme  peril.  After  the 
surrender  at  Saratoga,  Col.  Cushing  followed  the  army  down  the 
Hudson,  and  was  on  duty  at  West  Point  under  Amcdd.  His  regi- 
ment was  included  in  the  contemplated  betrayal  to  the  British. 

Col.  Cushing  was  a  son  of  Rev.  Job  Cushing,  the  first  settled 
minister  at  Shrewsbury,  a  native  of  Hingham  and  a  graduate  of 
Harvard,  and  his  wife  Mary,  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Prentice  of 
Lancaster.  Job  jr.  was  bom  1  January  1728,  and  married  in  1752, 
Lucy,  daughter  of  Rev.  Isaac  Stone  of  Framingham.  After  the 
Revolution  he  returned  to  his  native  town,  Shrewsbury,  where,  on 
the  edge  of  the  common,  he  built  a  house,  and  there  for  many  years 
kept  a  village  tavern,  at  which  his  old  commander.  General  Wash- 
ington, is  reported  to  have  been  a  guest  when  on  his  New  England 
tour  as  President.  The  present  town  hall  of  Shrewsbury  occupies 
the  site.  He  entered  actively  into  local  public  affairs,  and  was  an 
influential  and  important  citizen.  At  the  time  of  Shays's  insurrec- 
tion, which  had  its  headquarters  in  the  town.  Col.  Cushing  was  chair- 
man of  the  board  of  selectmen.  With  his  earliest  commander.  Gen. 
Artemus  Ward,  then  Chief  Justice  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas, 
he  offered  the  most  vigorous  opposition  to  the  movements  of  ^  the 
regulators,"  and  thwarted  their  designs  to  his  utmost.  While  G^n. 
Ward  was  dissuading  the  insurrection  from  proceeding  against  his 
Court  and  denouncing  their  bayonets.  Col.  Cushing  succeeded  in 
removing  the  town's  stock  of  powder,  which  was  kept  at  his  tavern. 
Disappointed  in  their  search  for  the  powder,  the  insurgent  mob  sought 
for  Col.  Cushing,  designing  to  wreak  vengeance  on  him,  but  he  luid 
so  covered  his  retreat  that  he  was  not  iq>prehended«.

returning  to  Shrewsbury  to  die.  Dr.  Edward  Flint,  town  clerk, 
selectman,  surgeon  in  Ruggles's  regiment  in  the  Crown  Point  expe- 
dition, and  the  physician  of  Shrewsbury,  records  in  his  diary  the 
circumstances  of  the  event  in  Spartan  brevity :

ROSE  (DUNSTER)  HILLS. 

By  William  S.  Hills,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

Was  Rose  Hills  (the  wife  of  Joseph  Hills  of  Maiden,  Mass.) 
the  sister  of  Henry  Dunster,  the  first  president  of  Harvard  Col- 
lege? 

Joseph  Hills  came  to  this  country  from  Maldon,  Essex  County, 
England,  in  the  ship  "  Susan  and  Ellen,"  and  arrived  in  Charles- 
town,  Mass.,  in  1638.  He  was  probably  accompanied  by  his  wife, 
Rose  (although  no  written  evidence  of  this  fact  has  ever  been 

found),  as  his  son,  Gershom,  was  bom  in  Charlestown, 1639. 

This  fact  makes  it  fair  to  suppose  that  she  came  with  him. 

I  have  been  unable  to  find  any  documentary  evidence  throwing 
any  light  upon  the  maiden  name  of  the  said  Rose  Hills,  excepting 
only  that  which  is  contained  in  the  will  of  Henry  Dunster,  which  ia 
dated  February  8,  1658,  and  from  which  I  take  the  following  ex- 
tracts: 

*'  Concerning  my  daughter  Elizabeth  my  mind  and  will  is,  that 
she  shall  be  at  the  disposing  of  her  mother  during  her  life  in  her 
minority,  and,  in  case  of  my  wive's  death,  then  to  live  with  my  sis- 
ter Mrs.  Hills,  of  Maiden,  during  her  minority,  and  faithfully  and 
carefully  to  serve  her  as  if  she  were  her  own  child,  and  in  case  there 
also  the  Lord  by  death  should  make  such  uncomfortable  breaches 
in  the  family,  that  shee  could  not  live  comfortably  there,  then  shee 
shall  live  with  my  sister  Willard  of  Concord  doing  her  faythfull 
service  as  a  child  until  her  marriage  or  maturity  of  age.  •  ♦  ♦  ♦  • 
Item.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  holy  servant  of  the  Lord  Elder 
firost  Twenty  shillings,  and  to  my  cousin  Bowers  and  her  children 
five  shillings  apeece,  and  to  my  cousin  fayth  Dunster  five  shillings, 
and  to  my  sister  Willard  and  all  her  children  five  shillings  apeece, 
and  to  my  sister  Hills  and  all  her  children  Bom  in  this  country  five" 


189S.]  Hose  (^Dunster)  Hilh.  147 

shillings  apeece,  and  my  will  is  that  my  faythfiill  mayd  Mary  Russell 
should  have  15  shillings  added  to  her  wages." 

It  appears  from  the  foregoing  that  President  Dunster  speaks  of 
Mrs.  Hills  and  Mrs.  Willard  as  sisters,  but  whether  in  the  sense  of 
relationship  or  as  sisters  in  the  church  is  uncertain.  The  will  of 
President  Dimster  was  dated  Feb.  8,  1658 ;  Rose  Hills,  the  first 
wife  of  Joseph  Hills,  died  in  Maiden  on  March  24,  1650.  Conse- 
quently she  was  not  living  at  the  time  that  this  will  was  made. 

Joseph  Hills  married  for  his  second  wife  Hannah  Mellows,  at 
Maiden,  June  24,  1651 ;  she  died  in  Maiden.  For  his  third  wife 
he  married  Helen  Atkinson,  in  Jan.  1655-56,  and  his  fourth  wife 
was  Ann  Lunt,  whom  he  married  on  March  8,  1664-65. 

These  facts  make  it  appear  that  the  wife  of  Joseph  EQlls  who  was 
living  at  the  time  that  the  will  of  Henry  Dunster  was  made,  and  to 
whom  he  refers  as  ^  my  sister  Hills  of  Maiden  "  was  Helen  (Atkin- 
son) Hills,  his  third  wife. 

We  will  now  ascertain  the  relationship  in  which  sister  Willard 
stood  to  President  Dunster  at  the  time  that  his  will  was  made.  She 
was  the  third  wife  of  Simon  Willard,  who  married  his  first  wife  in 
England  prior  to  his  coming  to  this  country  in  1634 ;  she  died  leav- 
ing issue,  but  the  date  of  her  death  is  unknown. 

His  second  wife  was  Elizabeth  Dunster,  a  sister  of  President 
Dunster,  who  died  about  six  months  after  their  marriage,  both  of 
which  dates  are  unknown.  He  married  for  his  third  wife  (date 
unknown)  Mary  Dimster,  who  is  supposed  to  have  been  a  cousin  of 
President  Dunster,  although  it  is  possible  that  she  may  have  been 
his  sister. 

Mr.  Willard  died  on  April  24,  1676  (his  wife  surviving  him). 
Thus  it  would  appear  that  at  the  time  that  the  will  of  President 
Dunster  was  made,  the  "  sister  Willard  ^  referred  to  therein  was 
probably  the  third  wife  of  Simon  Willard. 

Allowing  that  such  were  the  facts  in  the  case,  the  relationship  of 
sister  Hills  and  sister  Willard  to  President  Dunster  were  very  much 
the  same,  although  neither  were  his  sisters  either  by  birth  or  mar- 
riage. 

K  Rose  Hills  was  a  sister  of  President  Dimster,  it  is  possible 
that  the  third  wife  of  Joseph  Hills  might  have  been  regarded  as  a 
sister  by  him  on  account  of  her  having  married  his  brother-in-law 
by  a  former  marriage.  By  similar  deduction  sister  Willard  would 
have  been  considered  as  a  sister,  as  her  husband  was  also  his  brother- 
in-law  by  a  former  marriage. 

This  seems  a  very  plausible  theory,  but  there  is  another  view  of 
the  case  which  changes  its  aspect  considerably.  In  a  letter  to  Presi-

miles  from  Cambridge.  It  is  at  least  reasonable  to  sappose  that,  if 
Rose  Hills  was  his  daughter,  her  name  would  have  been  mentioned 
in  this  letter,  as  he  mentioned  his  other  sons  and  daughters  then 
living  in  England.* 

Until  a  record  of  the  marriage  of  Joseph  and  Rose  Hills  is  found 
the  question  as  to  the  identity  of  Rose  Hills  may  never  be  settled 
satisfactorily,  and  this  statement  is  made  in  the  hope  that  some  one 
may  have  in  their  possession  data,  which,  by  being  made  public, 
will  clear  up  this  obscure  point. 


CONTRIBUTIONS  TO  A  TRUMBULL  GENEALOGY. 

By  J.  Henby  Lea,  Esq.,  of  Cedarhorst,  Fairhavcn,  Mass. 

There  is  probably  no  family  among  our  early  colonial  and  revo- 
lutionary stock  which  has  contributed  so  many  distinguished  men  to 
their  country's  service  in  so  many  widely  varied  walks  of  life  as  the 
Trumbulls — preeminent  among  statesmen,  warriors,  divines,  poets, 
painters  and  historians,  the  fame  of  the  family  must  still  rest,  as  its 
most  enduring  monument,  on  the  patriot  Governor  of  Connecticut 
whose  nickname  of  **  Brother  Jonathan,"  affectionately  given  him 
by  Washington,  will  ever  stand  as  the  prototype  of  American  man- 
hood and  patriotism. 

That  so  little  has  ever  been  done  to  substantiate  the  ancestry  of 
so  notable  a  family  seems  a  grave  omission  on  the  part  of  our  his- 
torians, and  I  esteem  it  a  privilege  to  be  able  to  throw  some  light  on 
the  obscurity  which  has  thus  far  enveloped  its  origin. 

As  is  well  known  to  all  who  have  taken  any  interest  in  the  sub- 
ject, there  were  two  John  Trumbulls  (or  Trumble,  as  the  name  was 
then  generally  written)  in  the  Massachusetts  Colony  at  an  early  day, 
and  there  has  been  no  little  confusion  regarding  them  among  gene- 
alogists. As  a  matter  of  fact,  however,  there  was  no  connection 
whatever  between  them,  and  nothing  has  ever  been  discovered  that 
would  indicate  that  they  were  even  known  to  one  another.  They 
were:

May  1640)  made  freeman  of  Rowlej.     He  brought  to  this  country 
a  vnfe  JESen  arid  son  John,* 

II. — John  Tromble,  Mariner,  of  Cambridge  in  1636,  was  also  made  a 
freeman  in  1640,  and  removed  to  Charlestown  in  1655.  He  had 
wife  Elizabeth ;  perhaps  married  here.t 

There  has  always  been  a  family  tradition  attributing  the  origin  of 
one  or  both  of  them  to  Newcastle  on  Tyne  in  England,  and  this  at 
length  found  confirmation  in  a  power  of  attorney  of  Susan  Blakiston 
of  Newcastle  on  Tyne,  widow,  dated  27  August  1653,  to  Joanna  Scill 
of  New  England,  to  recover  for  her,  inter  alia^  a  debt  dating  from 
1637,  of  John  Trumble,  cooper,  late  of  Newcastle  on  Tyne,  and 
now  of  New  England.  |  This  gave  us  the  evidence  that  it  was  the 
cooper  and  not  the  mariner  who  was  from  Newcastle,  while  the  will 
of  William  Kinge  of  Ipswich,  Co.  Suffolk,  ship  carpenter,  §  to  which 
Mr.  H.  F.  Waters  kindly  called  my  attention,  must  beyond  doubt 
refer  to  the  second  John,  the  mariner,  as  we  now  know  the  wife  of 
the  former  to  have  been  a  Chandler. 

It  has  been  my  great  good  fortune  to  locate  one  of  these  with 
absolute  certainty,  and  the  other  beyond  a  reasonable  doubt,  although 
some  further  evidence  is  needed  as  to  the  last. 

Being  recently  in  the  North  of  England  I  made  a  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  Consistory  Court  of  Durham,  the  results  of  which  are 
printed  herewith,  but  they  are  most  disappointing,  as  the  Trumbull 
wills  were  few  and  these  few  yielded  but  little  information.  This 
task  completed  I  had  but  one  day  to  spare,  having  to  keep  an  ap- 
pointment at  the  Probate  Court  at  Lichfield,  and  I  resolved  to  devote 
it  to  a  Parish  Register  search  of  Newcastle.  This  important  and 
populous  city  contains  no  less  than  four  Parish  Churches,  and  it  was 
manifestly  impossible  to  see  them  all  in  a  day.  Reasoning  from 
analogy  that  if  our  man  was  a  cooper  he  would  probably  have  re- 
sided near  the  wharves  and  shipping,  I  selected  the  church  nearest 
the  river  (All  Saints)  to  begin  with,  and  my  delight  may  be  im- 
agined when  I  found,  in  rapid  succession,  the  marriage  of  John 
Trumble  and  Ellinor  Chandler  in  1635,  the  baptism  of  his  daugh- 
ter Beriah  in  1637,  and  his  son  John  in  1639.  The  burial  of  Beriah, 
four  months  after  her  baptism,  leaving  the  family  as  we  first  find  it 
in  America,  makes  the  identification  complete,  and  fixes  the  date  of 
the  emigration  within  a  few  months. 

The  remainder  of  the  day  was  spent  in  exhausting  the  Register, 
as  far  as  time  permitted,  of  all  entries  of  the  name,  but  in  spite  of  the 
large  number  of  these  found,  the  result,  as  far  as  this  particular 
family  is  concerned,  is  somewhat  meagre.  The  records  only  com- 
mence in  1600,  and  the  only  baptism  which  could,  chronologically,

hare  been  that  of  our  man,  is  John  the  son  of  James  in  I6I29  and  I 
have  serious  doubts  as  to  their  identity  for  this  reason — John  Trum- 
ble  of  Rowley  was  evidently  a  man  of  more  than  ordinary  educa- 
tion and  intelligence,  he  wrote  a  clerkly  hand  (no  common  accom- 
plishment in  those  days) ,  was  Town  Clerk  of  Rowley  until  his  death 
in  1656,  and  taught  the  first  school  there  ;*  but  James,  the  father 
of  the  John  baptized  in  1612,  is  recorded  as  a  ^^Kielman,"  that  is,  he 
occupied  the  humble  position  of  a  laborer  on  one  of  the  keelboats  or 
lighters  used  in  loading  vessels  or  conveying  freight  about  the 
wharves,  and  it  does  not  seem  likely  that  a  man  in  his  position  could 
have  given  his  son  the  education  which  we  know  the  emigrant  to 
have  possessed. 

The  other  three  ancient  parishes  of  Newcastle  may,  however,  give 
us  the  parentage  of  John  Trumble  whidi  All  Saints  denies  us* 
They  are  St.  Andrew's  (Reg.  1597),  St.  John's  (1587)  and  St, 
Nicholas  (1558),  the  latter  being  the  mother  church.  Gateshead 
in  Durham,  on  the  opposite  bank  of  the  Tyne  and  integrally  a  part 
of  Newcastle,  the  Register  of  which  dates  from  1559,  should  also  be 
examined.  The  parentage  of  Ellinor  Chandler,  which  was  not  found 
at  All  Saints,  should  also  be  sought  in  all  of  these. 

It  may  be,  however,  that  we  must  look  further  afield  and  across  the 
Scottish  border.  It  has  always  been  believed  that  the  Trumbulb 
of  England  were  descended  from  the  br(^en  remnants  of  the  once 
powerftd  border  clan  of  Tumbull,  whose  romantic  oripn  is  so  weU 
known,')'  and  which,  harried  in  turn  by  Scotch  and  English  forays,

t  '*  Between  red  ezlarbanks,  that  frightful  scowl, 
Fringed  with  grey  hazel,  roars  the  mining  Roall; 
Where  Tamballs  once,  a  race  no  power  could  awe, 
Lined  the  rough  skirts  of  stormj  Rubieslaw.

Crush'd  with  enormous  strength  his  bony  skull ; 
And  courtiers  hailed  the  man  who  turned  ike  bull" 

Leydens'  Scenes  of  Infancy,  p.  102. 

The  adventure  took  place  in  the  forest  of  Callender,  near  Stirling,  and  its  date  Is  ap- 
proximately fixed  by  a  grant  from  King  Robert  Bruce  in  1316  of  lands  in  Fulhophalch  {i^, 
Fhiliphaugh,  a  short  distance  west  of  the  Rule),  to  WilHelmo  dUto  TuniebuU,  for  "a  reddendo 
^f  one  broad  arrow  ai  the  featt  of  the  Atntmption  of  the  Virgin  Mary,**  (Reg.  Mag.  Sig., 
p.  6).  He  was  slain  at  the  battle  of  Halidon  Hill  in  1333  in  a  single  combat  with  Sir  Robert 
Bennale,  a  Norfolk  knight.  (Hutchinson's  Northumb.,  ii.,  70;  Ridpath's  Border  Hist., 
218.) 

Walter  TumbuU,  probably  son  of  the  above,  was  early  in  the  possession  of  Mynto,  bo 
long  held  by  the  family,  and  which  was  confirmed  to  him,  or  a  descendant  of  the  same 
name,  by  King  David  III.  in  1370.    (Robertson's  Index,  p.  33,  No.  48).    Before  the  middle 


1895.]  Trumiull  Genealogy.  151 

was  finally  broken  up  and  scattered.  In  1545  the  English  burned 
no  less  than  twelve  castles  and  two  towns  of  the  clan  in  the  Valley 
of  the  Rule,*  and  although  the  Barony  of  Mynto  remained  vested  in  a 
chief  of  the  name  until  the  middle  of  the  17th  century,  f  the  power 
of  the  clan  was  broken,  and  it  was  thenceforward  but  a  shadow  of 
its  former  self. 

The  alien  tax  in  the  Lay  Subsidies  at  the  Public  Record  Office  in 
Fetter  Lane,  the  results  of  a  brief  examination  of  which  are  printed 
herewith,  seems  to  clearly  indicate  the  Scotch  origin  of  the  Trum- 
bolls,  and  so  to  point  to  the  Clan  Tumbull  of  Bedrule  as  the  pro- 
genitors of  the  race. 

We  will  now  turn  to  John  Trumble  the  mariner.  Being  engaged 
one  day  in  a  search  of  the  Baptismal  Registers  of  St.  Dunstan's, 
Stepney,  London,  my  attention  was  attracted  by  the  occurrence  of 
a  family  of  the  name,  and  I  believe  that  John  the  son  of  Robert 
Trumble,  mariner,  of  Wapping,  who  was  baptized  25  Sept.  1608, 
will  prove  to  be  the  John  Trumble  of  Charlestown,  who  in  1665 
was  48|  and  in  1686  was  80,§  according  to  his  own  depositions. 
These  last  dates  are  utterly  irreconcilable,  and  we  can  only  conjec- 
ture that  the  first  of  them  should  be  1655,  or  that  his  age  should 
have  been  58  instead  of  48,  to  make  them  harmonize  with  each  other. 
Admitting  this  error,  they  are,  taken  in  connection  with  the  mari- 
time profession  of  the  father,  most  suggestively  near  to  the  date  of 
baptism  as  given ;  while  the  statement  of  Savage,  that  he  was  in 
his  80th  year  at  his  death  in  July  1687,  exactly  tallies  with  the 
baptism.  II 

Robert,  the  father,  unfortunately  died  intestate  in  1614,ir  but  the 
will  of  the  mother,  Judith,  may  yet  be  found,  or  some  further  and 
more  exact  reference  from  some  of  the  King,  Hichman  or  Sandwell 
families.**  The  wills  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds  should  also  be  seen  in 
this  connection,  while  a  further  examination  of  the  Stepney  Regis- 
ters for  Marriages  and  Burials  might,  and  most  probably  would, 
demonstrate  or  disprove  the  theory  I  have  promulgated. 

There  was  a  family  of  Trumbulls  of  London,  fishmongers  and 
shipowners,  if  not  mariners,  in  the  16th  century,  whose  wills  in  the 

of  the  I5th  centarj  they  had  obtained  the  Barony  of  Bednile  (Stoddard's  Scottish  Arms, 
ii.,  49),  having  by  this  time  become  a  powerfal  border  clan  and  rivalliog  the  Moss  Troopers 
of  Liddesdale  in  audacity  and  daring.  In  1510  their  excesses  had  become  so  great  that  the 
King  of  Scotland  marched  wirh  an  army  to  the  wHtere  of  Rale  and  executed  summary 
justice  on  the  clan.  (Jcfferey's  Hist.  Roxboroogh,  330.)  This  blow  and  a  deadly  vendetta 
with  the  Kers,  aided  the  border  warfare  in  weakening  and  finally  breaking  np  the  clan. 
The  last  who  clamed  the  chieftain>ihlp,  after  the  failure  of  the  direct  line  of  Mynto  and  Bed- 
rale,  was  a  John  Tumbull  of  Know,  alioat  1672-78.    (Stoddard,  ii.,  50.)

SOME  DORCHESTER  MATTERS. 

Contributed  by  Robert  Thaxtbr  Swan,  Esq.,  Commissioner  of  Public  Records  for 

Massachusetta. 

A  VOLUME  recently  shown  me  as  a  curiosity  was  found  to  contain 
much  matter  which  seemed  worthy  of  extraction  and  arrangement 
for  perpetuation. 

The  book  was,  apparently,  first  the  property  of  Zerijah  Wales  of 

Dorchester,  Mass.,  son  of  Samuel  Wales  and  .     He  was 

bom  in  Dorchester,  Feb.  26,  1678,  and  married  Sarah  Payson 
(called  Parson  in  the  printed  records  of  Dorchester) ,  daughter  of 
Ephraim  Payson  of  Dorchester.  It  was  used  as  an  account  book 
by  him  from  about  1718  to  1738,  and  after  his  death,  Feb.  20, 
1745,  by  his  son  Joseph  Wales,  bom  Aug.  29,  1717,  from  1752  to 
1759.     Joseph  died  April  28,  1762,  no  marriage  being  recorded. 

The  book  was  then  reversed  for  use  and  an  entry  appears,  '*This 
book  belongs  to  me,  Theodore  Beezer  [?]  Theodore."  From  Feb. 
9,  1767  to  Aug.  22,  1774,  it  contains  the  record  of  "a  Court  Held 
before  Wm.  Holden  Esq'  One  of  his  Majesty s  Justices  of  ye  peace 
for  The  County  of  Suffolk,"  evidently  written  by  the  said  Theodore, 
who  wrote  everything  plainly  but  his  own  name.  William  Holden 
died  March  30,  1776,  and  his  son  Dr.  Phinehas  Holden  of  Dor- 
chester, bom  Jan.  31,  1743,  used  it  from  1798  to  about  1811  for 
charging  his  professional  visits,  and  there  are  a  few  items  bearing 
dates  from  1793.  It  also  contains  entries  of  matters  many  of  which 
would  naturally  come  within  his  knowledge.  From  the  latter  part 
of  1806  the  charges  and  entries  are  in  another  hand,  and  an  exami- 
nation of  signatures  on  papers  hereinafter  referred  to,  which  are 
on  file  in  the  registry  of  probate  at  Dedham,  confirm  the  belief  that 
they  were  probably  made  by  Stephen  Holden  who  was  a  witness  to 
''Ant  Wales"  will,  and  appears  in  the  printed  record  as  the  father 
of  Stephen,  bom  May  6,  1803.  Some  of  the  entries  will  be  better 
understood  if  it  is  stated  that  Dr.  Holden  married  Thankful  Baker, 
daughter  of  John  Baker,  Jr.,  and  Sarah  Wiswell,  whose  sister 
Elizabeth  married  Nathaniel  Wales. 

Among  the  charges  made  by  Dr.  Holden  are  found  many  for 
"  laying  his  wife  "  or  "  putting  his  wife  to  bed,"  with  an  occasional 
addition  of  ''boy^  or  ''girl."  A  comparison  of  the  births  thus  re- 
corded with  the  printed  records  of  Dorchester  shows  some  confirma- 
tions of  the  print,  supplies  the  month  or  day  of  the  month  in  many 
instances,  and  in  many  contradicts  the  print  in  some  particulars. 
The  Dorchester  dates  in  many  cases  are  undoubtedly  baptisms  and  not 
births.     The  reliability  of  a  record  made  by  an  attending  physician

would  seem  to  be  as  worthy  of  credence  as  the  record  made  by  the 
clerk  at  a  time  when  returns  to  the  clerks  were  carelessly  made,  if 
made  at  all,  and  where  the  lack  of  chronological  order  shows  want 
of  system,  and  where  births  and  baptisms  are  confused.  For  this 
reason  I  have  thought  it  well  to  perpetuate  it. 

In  the  following  entries  those  in  italics  agree  with  the  record  as 
printed  in  the  twenty-first  report  of  the  Boston  Record  Commis- 
sioners ;  those  not  agreeing  are  followed  in  parentheses  by  the  entry 
as  printed ;  while  those  in  Roman  arc  not  found  at  all  in  the  printed 
record.

CAPT.  JOHN  THOMAS  OF  BRAINTREE,  MASS. 

By  the  Hon.  Joseph  W.  Pobteb  of  Bangor,  Maine. 

Among  the  notable  men  who  lived  in  ancient  Braintree,  Mass., 
was  Capt.  John  Thomas,  an  English  shipmaster,  who  came  to  Boston 
prior  to  1700.  Capt.  Thomas  was  master  of  an  English  ship  in 
1688,  and  carried  dispatches  to  William,  Prince  of  Orange,  in 
Holland,  and  in  October  of  the  same  year  brought  the  Prince  and 
Queen  Mary  to  England.  Researches  in  the  British  Archives  by  a 
descendant  confirm  these  statements. 

In  1750  his  only  son  John  Thomas,  Jr.,  conceived  the  idea  of 
writing  to  the  English  government  for  a  donation  or  annuity. 
Among  the  papers  in  the  family  now  is  a  copy  of  the  petition  sent 
to  the  Duke  of  Newcastle,  Secretary  for  the  Colonies : 

**  May  it  please  your  Grace  soever  humbling  to  beg  your  pardon  for 
troubling  your  Lordship  with  this  small  affair,  and  would  beg  your  Grace^s 
leave  to  acquaint  your  Lordship  that  your  eminent  ability  iu  your  exalted 
station,  and  your  Grace*  remarkable  generosity  to  human  kind  which  has 
rendered  your  Lordship's  name  in  high  esteem  with  us  in  New  England 
has  emboldened  me  to  lay  this  small  affair  before  your  Grace  Your  Grace 
will  perceive  by  the  papers  annexed  that  Mr.  Thomas  my  father  was  in- 
strumental in  bringing  about  the  Revolution  in  1688,  and  that  his  coming 
over  to  New  England  and  dying  here  in  obscurity  might  be  the  reason  he 
was  not  remembered  for  his  said  services  and  as  I  have  an  aged  mother  to 
support  now  who  is  the  widow  of  the  said  Mr.  Thomas,  and  myself  being 
his  only  son  I  ever  humbly  pray  your  Grace*  kind  indulgence  herein  and 
if  your  Grace  in  your  generosity  may  be  pleased  to  grant  me  the  least 
mark  of  your  favor  it  will  beget  in  me  such  a  delightful  sense  of  love  and 
respect  to   your  Lordship*   name  and  honor  as   never  will  be  forgotten

The  "  papers  annexed  "  were  the  following,  copies  of  which,  writ- 
ten at  the  time,  are  now  in  the  family : 

**  These  may  Certi fie  all  whom  it  may  concern  That  We  the  Subscribers 
being  well  acquainted  with  Capt  John  Thomas  in  his  Life  time  who  was  a 
Gentleman  of  unquestionable  Truth  of  singular  Piety  Prudence  and  fidelity 
heard  the  said  Captn  Thomas  say  that  he  carried  the  Paquet  of  letters  sent 
from  England  to  Holland  in  the  year  1688  immediately  before  the  Revolu- 
tion To  their  Highnesses  the  Prince  and  Princess  of  Orange  which  letters 
informed  their  Highnesses  of  the  Great  trouble  the  English  Nation  then 
Groaned  Under  that  the  importance  and  Hazard  of  conveying  those  letters 
at  that  time  was  so  great  that  he  was  oblidged  to  conceal  thetai  between  the 
lineing  and  outside  of  his  coat  that  he  then  wore  And  that  notwithstand- 
ing his  being  brought  too  and  examined  in  his  passage  to  Holland  by  an 
English  men  of  war  he  delivered  those  letters  safe  to  their  Highnesses  and 
that  he  was  Master  of  the  Yatch  which  brought  over  the  Prince  of  Orange 
upon  the  Revolution     that  King  William  and  Queen  Mary  upon  their  ar-

rival  in  England  ware  so  deeply  engaged  in  settling  the  Great  and  import- 
ant affairs  of  the  Nation  then  greatly  embarrassed  by  strong  attempt  to 
bring  in  Popery  and  Arbitrary  Power  Capt**  Thomas  had  that  Convenient 
opportunity  to  make  his  application  for  a  Reward  of  his  hazardous  services 
and  finding  that  his  own  personal  safety  he  was  obliged  to  Remove  in  that 
critical  &  troublesome  time  he  accordingly  came  over  to  New  England 
&  Settled  at  Braintree  and  so  Never  Received  any  Consideration  for  the 
aforementioned  service  he  looked  upon  to  be  of  the  greatest  consequence. 
Capt°  Thomas  Dyed  soon  after  this  Relation  by  him  made  to  us :  when  we 
Reflect  upon  the  unspeakable  Blessings  which  the  British  Nation  enjoys 
even  to  this  day  consequent  upon  the  Coming  in  of  King  William  the  third 
of  Glorious  Memory  we  hold  ourselves  bound  to  Love,  and  honor  them  that 
ware  any  ways  instrumental  in  bringing  about  that  Glorious  Event  and  to 
us  it  is  Very  evident  that  Capt"  Thomas  performed  the  aforesaid  Service 
with  the  utmost  Hazard  of  his  Life  and  Sincerely  believe  from  the  Per- 
sonal Knowledge  we  had  of  that  Gentleman  that  he  undertook  ai»d  per- 
formed the  Same  from  a  true  desire  to  advance  the  Honour  Happiness  and 
prosperity  of  Great  Britain  which  he  always  seemed  to  have  much  at 
heart. 

We  would  further  declare  that  we  publish  this  Testimony  to  the  world  on 
the  account  of  the  high  flsteem  we  have  of  the  before  named  Capt°  Thomas 
whose  acquaintance  &  Conversation  while  liveing  we  had  the  greatest  value 
for  &  Considering  his  Singular  faithful  Services  beforenamed  we  think  our 
Selves  obliged  to  do  all  in  our  power  to  promote  the  good  db  welfare  of  bb 
posterity  and  as  he  has  but  one  male  Heir  who  is  a  person  of  a  Sober  li^ 
and  fare  Character  we  humbly  hope  that  the  young  man  will  meet  with  the 
favour  of  all  wise  men  &  true  lovers  of  English  liberty  &  Considering  that  the 
said  Capt"  Thomas  deceased  when  his  said  Son  was  too  young  to  Receive  a 
Relation  of  this  great  affair  we  thought  it  highly  just  to  give  our  Testimony 
thereof  so  far  as  we  have  heard  it  from  Capt**  Thomas'  mouth  Several  times 
and  do  therefore  hereunto  freely  Subscribe  our  Names  the  fourteenth  day  of

Capt°  Thomas  mentioned  above  in  this  |)aper  was  a  Gentleman  Justly 
Esteemed  by  all  that  knew  him  with  whom  I  was  particularly  acquainted 
as  he  lived  after  he  settled  in  Braintree  in  the  Society  to  which  I  belong — 
he  was  a  man  of  Singular  Ingenuity  of  Enterprise  kno^vledge  and  ac- 
quaintance with  Kingdoms  and  Countrys  who  told  me  he  supposed  that  no 
man  in  his  day  had  Sailed  to  &  from  so  many  ports  in  the  several  parts  of 
the  world  as  he  had  done:  his  activity  &  fidelity  also  Recomende<l  him  lo  the 
great  Trust  Reposed  in  him  in  conveying  letters  from  England  to  Holland 
directed  to  the  prince  of  Orange  which  led  to  the  happy  Revolution  db  that 
those  letters  ware  so  artfully  Secreted  by  quilting  them  in  his  clothes  that 
had  he  been  seized  &  Searched  in  all  probability  they  would  not  have  beeb 
discovered  in  which  often  he  was  remarkably  instrumental  in  providence  in 
bringing  about  that  Great  and  Remarkable  Change  in  the  nation  he  also

Of  the  signers  to  these  papers,  Jacob  Nash,  Thomas  Hunt  and 
Ebenezer  Hunt  were  honored  citizens  of  Weymouth ;  John  Hunt 
and  Col.  William  Hunt  were  noted  men  in  Braintree,  and  Rev. 
Samuel  Niles  was  minister  of  the  second  church  in  Braintree  from 
1710  until  his  death  May  1st,  1762.  His  diary  is  now  in  the  Thayer 
Library  at  South  Braintree. 

The  traditions  of  the  family,  quite  well  authenticated,  are  that 
an  answer  was  made  to  these  papers. 

Capt.  Thomas  took  up  his  residence  at  North  Weymouth,  and 
married  Lydia,  daughter  of  Deacon  Abiah'  Whitman  of  that 
town. 

Deacon  Abiah  Whitman  was  son  of  Capt.  John'  Whitman,  the 
emigrant,  and  lived  on  the  homestead  of  his  father  at  North  Wey- 
mouth, which  was  on  the  north  side  of  the  road  leading  by  the 
meeting  house  and  directly  off  against  it.  Deacon  Whitman  waa 
a  large  land  owner  in  Easton,  Mass. 

August  8, 1704,  Abiah  Whitman  of  Weymouth,  "  in  consideration 
of  the  faithful  service  performed  by  James  Hodge  for  Capt.  John 
Thomas  son  in  law  to  said  Abiah  Whitman,"  gave  Hodge  a  lot  of 
land  in  Easton  upon  which  he  lived  and  died. 

Judge  Ezekiel  Whitman  of  Portland,  Maine,  printed  a  Genealogy 
of  the  Whitman  Family  in  1832,  from  which  I  quote : 

"The  marriage  of  Capt.  Thomas  (to  Lydia  Whitman)  was  at- 
tended with  circumstances  savoring  a  little  of  the  romantic.  While 
on  a  visit  to  her  relations  in  Boston,  she  caught  the  eye  of  Capt. 
Thomas,  a  respectable  shipmaster  then  lately  arrived  from  England. 
He  was  instantly  captivated  with  her  appearance,  and  followed  her 
to  her  lodgings  and  immediately  contrived  to  gain  an  introduction 
to  the  family  and  to  her,  and  soon  after  married  her  and  established 
himself  in  a  very  respectable  style  (near  her  father)  in  the  town  of 
Braintree." 

In  the  will  of  Rev.  Samuel'  Whitman  of  Farmington,  Conn., 
son  of  Rev.  Zecheriah*  of  Hull  Sept.  13,  1750,  he  says : 

**It  is  my  will  and  pleasure  for  diners  reasons  to  me  thereunto  moving, 
that  Lydia  Whitman*  who  lived  with  my  father  as  ii  maid  many  years  and 
was  afterward  married  to  Capt.  Thomas,  who  died  leaving  her  a  widow  with 

*  She  was  his  own  cousin.

several  children ;  that  said  widow  of  Capt  Thomas  have  sixteen  pounds 
Old  Tenor  out  of  my  estate  to  be  faithfully  delivered  to  her  *  *  •  if 
living,  if  not  to  any  of  her  daughters  or  children  that  are." 

June  1,  1709,  Capt.  Thomas  bought  a  lot  of  land  in  Braintree 
of  Judge  Samuel  Sewall  for  £300.  The  lot  was  known  as  the 
"Webb  Lot,  now  or  lately  occupied  by  Thomas  Copeland  John 
Hayford  and  Joseph  Clark,'*  and  was  bounded  southerly  by  the 
Monatiquot  river.  It  was  on  what  is  now  Plain  street,  South 
Braintree,  on  the  road  to  South  Weymouth,  and  was  owned  by  L. 
Bradford  Hollis  in  1879.  Capt.  Thomas  built  a  house  and  moved 
his  family,  and  lived  there  until  his  death.  The  cellar  of  the  house 
was  visible  a  few  years  ago. 

Capt.  Thomas  took  no  part  in  public  affairs,  but  confined  himself 
wholly  to  his  farm.  He  died  Oct.  4,  1714,  and  was  buried  in  the 
Old  North  Burying  Ground  at  Weymouth.  His  widow  was  appointed 
administratrix,  and  Stephen  French,  Israel  Ford  and  Joseph  Allen

As  to  the  ""  Pictures  in  frames,**  one  of  them  was  of  King  Wil- 
liam, Prince  of  Orange,  and  is  now  in  possession  of  a  descendant 
of  Capt.  Thomas ;  another  was,  without  doubt,  a  portrait  of  Queen 
Mary,  and  was  in  the  Thayer  branch  of  the  family  in  Braintree 
after  1800. 

Of  the  negroes,  R^v.  Samuel  Niles  in  his  diary  under  date  of 
Feb.  27,  1718,  says  :  "*!  married  Tony  a  negroman  and  Penelope 
a  negro  woman,  one  of  Mrs  Thomas'  negroes.*' 

Mrs.  Thomas  died  in  1757.  Rev.  Samuel  Niles  in  his  diary 
under  date  of  April,  1757,  says:  '^The  widow  of  Capt.  John 
Thomas  buried  at  Weymouth,  where  her  husband  the  Captain  had 


176  Capi.  John  Th<mka9  of  Braintree^  Mass.  [A{»il, 

been  buried  many  years  before.    She  was  seized  with  an  apoplectic 
fit  and  never  spoke  after.'* 

Her  wUl  of  9  March,  1753,  proved  13  May,  1757.  Son  John 
was  executor.  She  divided  her  estate  among  her  children.  She 
gave  her  negro  woman,  Rose,  and  her  child,  their  freedom,  provided 
that  they  support  themselves  without  expense  to  her  heirs.  His 
children,  I  find,  are : 

1.  Capt.  John'  Thokas  had  children: 

i.        Andrew,*  bom  in  Weymouth   15  January,   1702;   probably  died 

young, 
ii.       Lydia,  born  in  Wejnnouth  July  17, .     She  married  William 

Salisbury  of  Braintree.    I  find  four  children  born  in  Braintree :

Sarah*  Whitman  of  Weymouth  24  April,  1773.  She  was  born

The  wiilow  bought  the  first  ancestor's  estate  and  left  it  to  her 
children.  She  died  in  1823.  Eleven  children.  Descendants 
numerous  and  respectable.

whom  had  many  relics  which  once  belonged  to  Capt.  John 
Thomas,

died  1782-3.  His  will  was  proved  March  4,  1783.  In  it  he  gave 
his  wife  Silence  "  as  the  law  directs,"  and  to  daughter  Mary  Hunt's 
three  children  (their  mother  being  dead)  twenty  shillings  each,  to 
be  delivered  to  their  grandfather,  Mr.  Enoch  Hunt,  to  be  put  to  in- 
terest until  they  came  of  age;  to  Caleb  Hunt  twenty  shillings;  to

PORTRAITS  IN  NEW  HAMPSHIRE  OF  PUBLIC  MEN 

AND   OTHERS. 

[Commanicated  by  the  Hon.  Benjamin  F.  Phbscott,  of  Epping,  N.  H. 

[In  the  October  Register  of  1874,  page  442 ;  April  1880,  p. 
181 ;  July  1883,  p.  150,  and  in  January  1889,  p.  44,  appear  Uats 
of  portraits  in  New  Hampshire  that  have  been  secured  through 
the  persona]  solicitation  and  efforts  of  Eht-Gov.  Benjamin  F.  Pres- 
cott.  By  far  the  largest  number  are  in  the  State  House  in  Con- 
cord, Dartmouth  College  in  Hanover,  and  Phillips  Academy  at 
Exeter,  besides  other  places.  The  number  is  now  large  and  iull  of 
interest,  being  nearly  if  not  quite  270.  They  are  all  in  galleries 
where  they  can  be  seen  by  the  public.  We  are  furnished  by  Gov. 
Prescott  with  an  additional  list,  which  we  publish  in  this  number 
of  the  Register.  It  gives  an  account  of  and  locates  some  very 
interesting  and  valuable  paintings,  and  shows  what  can  be  accom- 
plished by  the  well-directed  efforts  of  one  person  who  is  interested  in 
securing  the  likenesses  of  men  who  have  been  prominent  in  public 
life,  and  who  have  been  connected  with  the  literary  institutions  of 
the  State.  We  hope  the  work  done  in  New  Hampshire  vrill  be 
entered  upon  in  other  States. — Editor.]

A  NEEDED  CORRECTION  IN  THE  PEDIGREE  OF  THE 
COTTON  FAMILY  AS  GIVEN  BY  MR.  SAVAGE, 
MR.  SIBLEY  AND  SOME  OTHERS.* 

By  Henrt  Williams,  A.B.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

In  Mr.  Savage's  Genealogical  Dictionary  of  New  England,  vol. 
1,  p.  164,  we  read: 

Elizabeth  [Cotton]  m.  Rev.  William  Williams  of  Hatfield,  as  was  once 
said,  but  erroneously,  for  she  m.  Rev.  James  Ailing  of  Salisbury  and  his 
successor.  Rev.  Caleb  Cushing. 

In  vol.  4,  p.  560,  in  giving  the  sons  of  Isaac  son  of  Robert 
Williams,  the  first  of  the  line,  who  came  to  this  country  in  1637 
and  settled  at  Roxbury,  Mass. : 

William  b.  2  February  1665,  H.  C.  1683,  minister  of  Hatfield,  ancestor 
of  a  long  line  of  distinguished  clergymen. 

Mr.  Sibley,  in  his  ''  Harvard  Graduates,*'  vol.  3,  p.  264,  says : 

In  regard  to  Williams's  family  there  is  much  obscurity  and  uncertainty. 
The  statement  often  made,  that  Williams's  first  wife  was  Elizabeth,  bom 
18  August,  1665,  who  died  7  August,  1698,  daughter  of  the  Reverend 
Seaborn  Cotton,  H.  U.  1651,  cannot  be  true;  for  in  1688  this  Elizabeth

1895.]  Correction  in  the  Cotton  Pedigree.  181 

married  the  Reverend  James  Ailing,  who  died  8  March,  1695;  and  14 
March,  1697,  she  married  the  Reverend  Caleb  Coshing,  H.  U.  1692,  Al- 
ling's  saccessor. 

Here  are  two  very  positive  statements,  and  other  writers  of  leas 
note  have  followed  Savage  and  Sibley. 

In  a  volume  entitled  **  The  Grenealogy  and  BBstory  of  the  Family 
of  Williams  in  America^"  published  in  1847,  page  159,  it  is  stated 
that 

The  Rev.  William  Williams  of  Hatfield,  second  son  of  Isaac  Williams, 
of  the  second  generation,  was  born  Feb.  2, 1665,  was  graduated  at  Harvard 
College  in  1 683,  and  settled  at  Hatfield,  Mass.,  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel, 
in  the  year  1685.  He  married  for  his  first  wife,  soon  after  his  settlement, 
a  daughter  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Cotton,  dbc. 

This  book,  written  by  a  country  physician.  Dr.  Stephen  West 
Williams  of  Deerfield,  Mass.,  in  the  leisure  moments  snatched  firom 
the  time  engrossed  by  a  large  professional  practice,  deserves  especial 
commendation.  Dr.  Williams  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  this  kind 
of  enquiry  now  become  so  common,  and  though  his  work,  as  might 
be  expected,  is  not  wholly  firee  from  errors,  and  though  others  since 
have  improved  upon  his  methods,  a  tribute  of  gratitude  is  due  to 
his  memory  from  all  his  kindred,  for  his  patient,  painstaking  and 
disinterested  service  in  their  behalf.  Dr.  Williams  was  elected  a 
corresponding  member  of  this  Society  Jan.  6,  1846,  and  died  July  9, 
1855.  (See  extracts  from  an  autobiography  of  Dr.  Williams  in 
Vol.  2,  Memorial  Biographies,  N.  E.  Hist.  Gen.  Society,  p.  389, 
contributed  by  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Helen  Maria  Huntington.)  Dr. 
Williams's  grandmother,  Esther,  was  granddaughter  of  Elizabeth 
Cotton,  and  it  might  have  been  taken  for  granted  that  her  father, 
the  Rev.  William  Williams  of  Weston,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  Col- 
lege in  1705,  well  knew  his  mother's  maiden  name. 

In  ^  Sprague's  Annals  of  the  American  Pulpit,''  published  ten 
years  after  Dr.  Williams's  book,  we  find  it  again  stated  that  Wil- 
liam Williams  of  Hatfield  married  Eliza  [beth],  daughter  of  the 
Rev.  Seaborn  Cotton,  of  Hampton,  New  Hampshire.  It  will  be 
seen  that  both  these  publications  preceded  the  volumes  of  Mr.  Saav- 
age  (1861-1862),  and  Mr.  Sible/s  in  1885. 

In  the  first  volume  of  the  New-England  Historical  and  Genealo- 
gical Register  (1847),  in  Mr.  J.  Wingate  Thornton's  pedigree 
of  the  Cotton  family,  the  marriage  of  William  Williams  of  Hatfield 
to  Elizabeth  Cotton,  daughter  of  Seaborn,  is  again  stated.  Also, 
in  a  pedigree  of  the  Cotton  family,  compiled  principally  from  the 
foregoing  in  the  Reokteb  and  a  manuscript  of  the  late  Bosseter 
Cotton  of  Plymouth,  in  the  possession  of  William  6.  Brooks,  Esq., 
and  Mr.  Jackson's  History  of  Newton,  which  was  published  in  A&. 
Drake's  folio  edition  of  die  History  of  Boston,  in  1857  (sixteen 
years  before  Mr.  Sibley  published  his  first  volume  of  Harvard  Ghrad- 
uates),  we  learn  that  John  Cotton's  first  child,  Seaborn  (bom  on 

VOL.  XLIX.  16* 


162  Correction  in  the  Cotton  Pedigree.  [April, 

board  the  ship  Griffin,  in  which  John  Cotton  came  to  New  England, 
^Marigena"  in  the  old  H.  C.  Catalogue),  married  Dorothy  Brad- 
street,  and  had  a  daughter  Elizabeth,  bom  Aug.  13,  1665,  who 
married  William  Williams  of  Hatfield.  Again,  that  John  Cotton's 
fifth  child  was  John,  whose  daughter  Elizabeth  married  the 
Rev.  James  Ailing  of  Salisbury,  and  aft;eTwards  the  Key.  Caleb 
Cushing,  his  successor.  Hence  it  is  evident  that  there  were  two 
Elizabeths,  cousins,  both  of  whom  married  clergymen.  But  we 
need  not  stop  here  in  settling  conclusively  and  once  for  all  this  dis- 
puted genealogical  point. 

Seaborn  Cotton  was  minister  at  Hampton,  N.  H.  for  many  years, 
and  was  succeeded  by  his  son  John.  Seaborn  kept  a  Journal  or 
Church  Record  which  at  his  death  was  continued  by  his  son,  and 
afterwards  by  his  successor,  the  Kev.  Nathaniel  Gookin.  A  copy 
of  this  Journal  was  presented  to  the  Genealogical  Society  some 
years  since  by  the  late  Dr.  John  S.  H.  Fogg,  and  more  recently 
from  the  same  source,  the  original  has  come  into  the  Society's  pos- 
session. This  last  is  a  precious  relic,  though  time-worn  and  some- 
what dilapidated ;  for  here  we  have  in  Seabom's  own  handwriting 
many  an  interesting  record.     As,  on  one  page,  this : 

I  was  married  by  my  Father  Mr.  Simon  Bradstreet  to  his  eldest  daugh- 
ter Dorothy,  June  14.  1654. 

And  in  his  son  John's  handwriting : 

My  honored  Grandfather  Bradstreet  died  March  28^,  1697,  in  ye  94^ 
year  of  his  age,  and  was  buried  at  Salem  April  2.  '97. 

And  this: 

My  sister  JSlizabeth  Williams^  diedy  1698  and  W(u  buried  alHaijidd, 

In  final  evidence,  the  stone  erected  to  the  memory  of  Elizabeth 
Williams  may  still  be  seen  and  deciphered  in  the  old  Hatfield  bury- 
ing-ground. 

Jonathan  Edwards  preached  the  funeral  sermon  of  William  Wil- 
liams of  Hatfield,  in  which,  as  quoted  by  Mr.  Sibley,  he  uses  these 
words: 

He  was  a  person  of  unoommon  natural  abilities  and  distinguished  learn- 
ing, a  great  Divine,  of  very  comprehensive  knowledge,  and  of  a  solid  ac- 
curate Judgment. 

The  writer  of  this  article  has  seen  his  common-place  book,  a 
quarto  volume  bound  with  clasps,  the  entries  in  which  are  mostly 
in  Latin. 

From  the  facts  above  stated  it  may  be  seen  that  the  Williamses 
who  can  claim  descent  from  this  "  Divine,"  so  distinguished  in  his 
day  and  generation,  and  from  his  first  wife  Elizabeth  Cotton,  can 
also  trace  their  lineage  back  to  the  Rev.  John  Cotton,  to  Governor 
Simon  Bradstreet  and  his  wife  Anne  Dudley  (^The  Tenth  Muse"), 
daughter  of  Governor  Thomaa  Dudley  by  his  first  wife.

THE  TOWN  fflSTORY. 

Commnnicated  by  ReT.  Axsoir  Titvs,  of  Someirille,  Msas. 

A  town  history  is  becoming  a  municipal  necessity.  There  has, 
within  twenty-five  years,  developed  a  sentiment  in  this  regard. 
Many  towns  have  caught  upon  the  sentiment  and  have  published 
either  portions  of  their  records,  or  a  history  of  their  past  proceed- 
ings and  social  life.  This  is  well.  To  preserve  the  spirit  of  earlier 
citizens,  to  learn  their  excellent  ways  and  profit  by  their  mistakes, 
and  to  note  the  advancements  made  in  all  local  afiairs,  is  a  filial 
obligation.  The  preservation  of  worthy  history  is  as  important,  at 
least,  as  the  repairing  of  a  highway  or  the  erection  of  public  buildings. 


192  The  Town  History.  [April, 

The  creation  of  a  favorable  sentiment  is  the  initial  step.  With 
an  educated  sentiment  the  people  will  not  be  satisfied  with  a  cheap 
and  hastily  prepared  work.  There  have  been  quite  enough  of  local 
histories  with  an  abundance  of  buncombe  and  high-toned  binding. 
The  local  history  worthy  of  the  name  must  be  superb  in  chronicling 
the  past  life  of  the  town.  To  do  this  there  must  be  work  and  research. 
It  can  be  no  sudden  or  holiday  affair.  With  a  sentiment  which  can 
be  fashioned  through  the  columns  of  local  papers,  or  local  historical 
society,  which  will  demand  detail  and  fullness,  there  will  be  a  sup- 
port, commensurate  with  the  book.  One  of  the  excellent  methods 
of  proceeding  is  for  the  town  to  select  a  committee  of  interested 
persons,  who  will  supervise  and  direct  the  compilation  of  data,  and 
with  power  to  select  an  editor,  lay  out  the  general  plan  of  the  work, 
and  then  recommend  to  the  people  an  appropriation  which  would 
carry  forward  the  same.  The  compilation  and  publication  of  the 
history  should  be  under  the  care  of  the  town's  best  men,  and  not 
under  the  '*  enterprise  "  of  a  distant  publisher. 

With  a  history  well  planned  there  should  be  a  systematic  search 
for  information.  The  official  records  must  come  first.  This  is  not 
the  task  of  a  day.  The  records  of  the  town,  the  courts,  the  churches, 
the  archives  of  the  state  should  be  examined,  and  all  the  essential 
items  transcribed.  The  chief  doings  of  the  town  in  each  of  its 
years,  the  matters  requiring  settlement  in  the  courts,  the  better  life 
of  the  people  as  expressed  in  the  records  of  the  churches,  and  the 
political  life  as  is  shown  in  it6  relation  to  the  commonwealth,  all 
have  an  indisputable  interest  to  the  great  public.  Historical  books 
already  published,  manuscripts  laid  away  perhaps  by  past  towns- 
men or  ministers,  unknown  to  the  present  generation,  m  some  of 
the  libraries  of  the  metropolis,  correspondence  of  leading  citizens 
stowed  away  in  the  attics  of  old  homesteads,  diaries  of  former 
people,  ancient  petty  books  of  the  business  men  of  the  town,  should 
be  sought  out  and  examined,  and  in  fact  all  data  from  every  source 
should  be  noted.  The  memories  of  the  'oldest  inhabitant'  should 
be  recorded  and  tested  by  the  records  already  at  hand ;  traditions 
of  the  people  should  be  received,  but  with  caution.  The  news- 
papers, many  files  of  which  are  in  leading  libraries,  should  be  read 
over  and  items  gleaned  therefrom,  and  comparisons  made  with  the 
already  collected  data.  This  gathering  of  information  cannot  be 
done  too  thoroughly. 

For  the  latitude  of  Massachusetts  and  the  older  towns  of  Maine 
and  many  communities  of  other  New  England  States,  there  is  no 
richer  mine  of  unpublished  data,  than  in  the  State  House  at  Boston. 
Here  are  petitions  from  every  quarter  and  on  every  subject ;  here 
are  official  documents  of  all  the  affairs  of  the  people  in  war  and 
peace,  and  all  the  dealings  with  the  Indians,  French  and  the  mother 
country ;  here  are  the  land  grants  given  for  services  rendered  in 
the  earlier  defenses  of  the  colonies ;    the  incorporations  of  towns 


1895.]  Th^  Town  History.  193 

and  plantations,  of  parishes  and  schools ;  memorials  which  have 
come  up  to  the  Great  and  General  Court  for  the  pacification  of 
some  local  disturbance ;  and  claims  and  counter-claims  upon  almost 
unnumbered  subjects.  The  town  historian  cannot  afford  to  neglect 
this  fountain  head  of  information. 

A  local  history  should  be  a  local  history.  Every  town  has  sub- 
jects in  common  with  other  towns.  These  do  not  require  fullness 
of  detail.  This  is  the  province  of  the  general  history.  But  each 
town  has  a  separate  government  and  social  life  which  need  be 
recorded  with  judicious  fullness.  There  should  be  given  lists  of 
the  town  officials  and  representatives ;  the  part  the  town  played  in 
the  various  wars,  Indian,  Revolutionary  and  Civil,  with  names  of 
soldiers  and  account  of  services  rendered ;  the  business  men  and 
various  trades  carried  on ;  the  organizations  and  schools,  which 
have  been  established  for  the  improvement  of  the  social  life  and  the 
education  of  the  youth.  The  town  minister  of  former  days  comes 
in  for  a  generous  bestowal  of  attention.  Around  him  and  the 
meeting-house  were  woven  their  choicest  interest.  The  religious 
history  needs  to  be  told,  but  not  burdened  with  pious  detail.  The 
town  history  should  be  plentiiuUy  illustrated  with  landscape,  ancient 
homesteads,  public  buildings,  historic  sites  and  portraits  of  prominent 
citizens.  These  are  le^timate  and  their  insertion  should  be  en- 
couraged ;  there  should  be  at  least  two  or  three  maps  of  the  town, 
showing  the  original  highways,  settlements  and  homestead  sites; 
and  also  of  the  town  at  time  of  publication. 

A  chief  factor  in  a  local  history  is  the  genealogy  of  its  families. 
This  is  essential.  Local  life  and  family  life  arc  closely  woven. 
The  family  of  the  earlier  generation  is  not  enough.  The  simple 
transcription  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  is  better  than  nothing ; 
but  to  have  the  same  edited  with  a  skilful  hand  and  completed  by 
means  of  family  information,  verified  by  probate  and  other  records, 
is  much  better.  An  excellent  and  the  most  widely  adopted  method 
of  arranging  genealogy  is  that  used  by  the  Historical  and  Genb- 
AiiOoiCAL  Register. 

The  importance  of  town  histories  is  growing  more  manifest. 
There  is  a  call  for  them  outside  of  those  immediately  interested. 
The  rapidly  forming  libraries  over  the  country  are  calling  for  them. 
They  become  as  books  of  reference.  Hence  to  make  them  service- 
able to  the  humble  citizen  and  the  interested  stranger  there  must  be 
an  index,  full  and  complete,  of  names  and  subjects.  The  writer  ia 
one  of  those  "  little  critics  who  clamor  for  indexes.**  With  full 
information  of  the  community  in  peace  and  war,  with  detail  as  to* 
its  official  and  social  life,  with  family  genealogies,  with  maps  and 
an  index,  the  local  history  will  be  cordially  supported  by  an  appro- 
priation from  the  common  treasury  of  die  people.  The  names, 
valor  and  labor  of  former  citizens  are  essential  to  the  better  life  o£ 
the  growing  yoath.

194  JBroi€9  an  ike  English  Garfields.  [April, 


MORE  NOTES  ON  THE  ENGLISH  GARFJELDS. 

Bj  W.  P.  W.  PsiLLiiiOBX,  UJL,  B.C JL,  London,  Eng. 

A  LITTLE  more  than  eleTen  yean  ago  I  compiled  an  account 
of  the  Garfield  family  in  England.  This  appeared  in  the  Regis- 
ter for  July,  1883.  The  object  of  that  article,  to  show  the 
descent  of  the  late  President  Garfield  from  his  English  ancestors, 
was  not  attained,  and  the  problem  of  the  precise  origin  of  the  iamily 
is  still  undetermined,  though  it  would  not  be  safe  to  say  that  it  is 
insoluble.  Since  then  more  facts  about  the  Garfields  have  come  to 
light,  and  the  readers  of  the  Register  may  be  glad  to  have  them 
collected  together. 

The  general  result  tends  to  show  that  the  English  Garfields  were 
settled  in  the  neighborhood  of  Rugby  on  the  borders  of  the  two 
counties  of  Warwick  and  Northampton  from  the  early  part  of  the 
sixteenth  century,  and  thou^  it  does  not  appear  any  now  are 
dwelling  in  the  villages  with  which  they  were  then  connected,  yet 
the  name  still  exists  in  both  counties,  and  it  seems  probable, 
though  it  is  obviously  impossible  to  prove  it,  that  all  Garfields  are 
akin  to  one  another.  It  will  help  to  show  how  very  localized  the 
family  was  if  we  give  a  sketch  diagram  to  indicate  their  principal 
early  habitats,  which  all  were  within  a  range  of  a  few  miles : 


WARWICKSHIRE. 

Ctrnrch . 

Lawford.  Clifton  on 

+  Rngby.  +  Dansmore. 

+ 

Bllton.  +  +  HIU  Morton. 


NORTHAMPTONSHIRB. 

+  Cold 
Ashby. 

+  Kilsby. 

+  Ashby 
Ledger. 


The  early  Garfields  appear  to  have  held  no  higher  rank  than 
that  of  small  yeomen  and  husbandmen,  while  some  were  of  even 
humbler  degree.  In  this  respect  the  probable  English  ancestry  of 
President  Garfield  forms  an  obvious  contrast  to  that  of  Washington, 
who  also  is  associated  with  Northamptonshire,  and  consequently  we 
have  little  chance  of  meeting  with  sufficient  records  which  will  help 
us  to  trace  out  a  connected  pedigree. 

It  is  clear,  nevertheless,  that  in  the  latter  part  of  the  sixteenth 
century  one  of  the  Kilsby  family,  Ralph  Garfield,  emigrated  to 
London  and  amassed  considerable  wealth  in  mercantile  pursuits, 
while  his  grandson  Benjamin  Garfield  aspired  to  coat  armour,  and 
entered  his  pedigree  at  the  Herald's  Visitation  in  1663 ;  this  family,

of  Benjamin  Garfield  in  1680.  To  the  pedigree  of  this  London 
line,  printed  in  1883,  it  seems  desirable  to  add  the  further  informar 
tion  since  obtained. 

Salph  Garfield,  who  described  himself  in  his  will  as  "  citizen  & 
djer  of  LfOndon,"  though  his  grandson  dignified  him  with  the  title 
of  "  esquire  "  and  styled  him  "  of  Kilsby,**  bou^t  land  at  Totten- 
ham, Middlesex ;  this  appears  from  his  son's  inquisition  post  mor- 
tem, the  proceedings  on  which  now  follow : 

Writ  of  diem  daunt  extremvm  directed  to  Ralph  Briscoe,  E^.,  escheator

We  have  already  seen  from  Ralph  Garfield's  will  that  his  son 
Benjamin  Garfield  was  "  beyond  the  seas  in  1607,"  and  the  follow- 
ing extract  shows  that  his  grandson  Benjamin  was  likewise  a 
traveller  out  of  England  : 

Journals  of  the  House  of  Commons,  21  April,  1642: 

*'  Resolved  upon  the  question.  That  Benjamin  GarBeld  of  Middlesex  and 
Peter  Cowper  of  Huntingdon  Esquires,  shall  have  a  Warrant  under  M' 
Speaker's  Hands  to  go  beyond  the  Seas,  without  the  Lett  or  Interruption  of 
any  of  his  Majesty's  ofiicers  of  the  Ports,  notwithstanding  any  former  Order 
of  Restraint." 

From  the  Chancery  Proceedings,  Bills  and  Answers,  we  get  the 
following : 

A  bill  of  complaint  dated  25  January  1629  by  Benjamin  Garfield  of  St. 
James,  Clerkenwell  was  filed  against  John  Highway  and  Mary  his  wife  and 
relates  to  an  alleged  mortgage  of  the  **Star"  in  Shoreditche. 

By  way  of  reply.  Highway  seems  to  have  taken  proceedings 
against  Garfield,  the  nature  of  which  is  sufficiently  indicated  by  the 
next  document,  which  we  abstract : 

Bill  of  complaint,  dated  1  December  1630,  by  John  Highway,  citizen  & 
brewer  of  London:  recites  his  bill  in  Hilary  term  last  against  William 
Atkinson  and  Benjamin  Garfield  both  deceased. 


1895.]  IToUm  cm  ike  English  QarfiekU.  197 

The  complaint  relates  to  the  Stane  in  Shoreditch ;  the  petitipner 
started  a  brewery  and  alleged  that  Benjamin  Garfield  of  St.  James, 
Clerkenwelly  agreed  to  advance  £70  in  the  business.  Garfield  paid 
part  only,  and  disputes  arose  about  the  payment  of  the  remainder ; 
suit  is  brought  by  Highway  against  inler  alios^  Elizabeth  Garfield, 
widow  and  executrix  of  Benjamin  Garfield.  What  the  result  was 
we  have  not  further  traced. 

Further  entries  appear  in  the  Clerkenwell  registers,  and  also  in 
that  of  St.  Botolph,  Bishopsgate,  from  which  we  may  infer  that 
"  Master  Benjamin  Garfield "  who  had  removed  to  the  then  more 
foshionable  locality  of  St.  Giles  in  the  Fields,  had  sopie  poor  kin- 
dred around  him ;  how  they  were  akin  to  him  we  have  no  meams  C|f 
saying.

198  Notes  on  the  English  Oarfields.  [-^P^' 

On  20  February,  1672,  administration  of  the  goods  of  John 
Garfield,  late  of  St.  Mary,  Matfellon  alias  White  Chappell,  co. 
Middlesex,  was  granted  to  Elizabeth  Garfeild,  the  relict.

1626-27.  Jan.  25.  William  Sanky  of  S'  Mary  Woolnoth,  citizen  & 
goldsmith,  a  bachelor  aged  about  26  and  at  his  own  government,  and  Ann 
Garfield  of  the  same  parish,  maiden,  about  21,  her  father  deceased. 
George  Dale  of  St.  Mary  Woolchurch,  goldsmith,  testifies  the  consent  of 
Ann  Blackmore  als  Garfield;  at  St.  Mary  Woolnoth. 

Dismissing  from  our  notice  the  London  Garfields,  we  return  to 
those  of  Northamptonshire  and  Warwickshire.  The  existence  of 
the  latter  was  unknown  to  us  until  the  issue  of  the  calendar  of 
Lichfield  wills  in  the  Index  Library,  which  showed  five  wills  and 
two  administrations.  Moreover,  the  Rev.  H.  I.  Longden  found  three 
more  at  Northampton,  and  printed  exact  copies  of  them  in  North- 
amptonshire Notes  and  Queries.  These  various  testamentary 
documents  are  shown  in  the  following  list :

Copies  or  sufficient  abstracts  of  those  marked  with  an  asterisk 
have  already  been  printed  in  the  Register,  and  the  remainder  in 
the  preceding  list  are  now  given.  Those  from  Northampton  and 
Peterborough  were  transcribed  by  the  Rev.  H.  I.  Longden,  and 
for  the  abstracts  of  the  wills,  etc.,  at  Lichfield  I  am  indebted  to 
the  kindness  of  Mr.  A.  T.  Marston,  the  record  clerk  there,  who 
gave  such  valuable  help  to  the  British  Record  Society  in  connec- 
tion with  the  calendar  of  Lichfield  Wills  which  has  lately  been 
completed. 

fMj  abstract  of  this  will  ^ven  the  Register  agrees  with  Mr.  Longden's  except  that  he 
gives  the  name  of  Ralph  Oarfeild's  servant  as  Stonlie  and  adds  a  legacy  to  Thomas  Basset 
son  of  Margaret  Torason  of  £3  6s.  8d.  On  the  other  hand  he  omits  a  legacy  and  incom- 
pletely abstracts  that  to  Batterisse  Allan.

CAPT.  WILLIAM  MEACHAM  AT  BUNKER  HILL. 

By  B.  8.  WiLLOOX,  Esq.,  of  Peoria,  HI.,  Librarian  of  tlie  Public  Library. 

WnuAM  Meacham,  of  New  Salem,  Mass.,  captain  of  a  com- 
companj  of  so-called  minute-men,  was  killed  in  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill,  but  I  have  been  unable  to  find  any  published  record  of  that 
fact,  and  am  told  that  his  name  does  not  appear  upon  the  marble 
tablets  at  Bunker  Hill,  which  profess  to  give  the  names  of  officers 
who  fell  in  that  action. 

In  the  Register,  yoL  27,  for  1873,  page  122,  his  name  is  given 
in  a  ^  List  of  officers  who  were  in  the  battle  of  Bunker's  (Breed's) 
Hill,  June  17,  1775,  not  named  in  Frothingham's  'Siege  of  Bos- 
ton,' second  edition,"  as  captain  in  Col.  Benjamin  Ruggles  Wood- 
bridge's  Regiment,  but  it  is  not  stated  that  he  fell  there. 

As  Capt.  Meacham  was  mj  mother's  grandfather,  and  as  family 
tradition  and  the  family  Bibles  claim  that  he  was  killed  at  Bunker 
Hill,  I  have  naturally  looked  for  some  official  or  published  confirma- 
tion of  the  &ct,  but,  until  this  last  summer,  without  success. 

Wliile  in  Boston,  July  last,  pursuing  my  inquiries,  Mr.  G.  W. 
Brown,  the  obliging  attendant  in  the  rooms  of  the  Massachusetts 
State  Archives,  State  House,  handed  me  the  original  paper,  wdl 
preserved,  of  which  the  following  is  a  copy :

MoisaehusetU  Archives,  vol.  138,  pttge  S76, 

Here  is  the  incontestable  proof  of  what  I  was  seeking,  carefully 
filed  and  indexed  and  easily  found  at  a  moment's  notice.  My  astonish- 
ment at  finding  such  a  document  as  this,  at  holding  it  in  my  hand, 
may  be  imagined,  and  also  my  gratitude  to  the  grand  old  State  of 
Massachusetts  for  so  sacredly  preserving  and  guarding  the  original 
records  of  the  deeds  of  her  brave  sons. 

But  Mr.  Brown  gave  me  a  still  greater  surprise  by  stepping  back 
into  one  of  the  alcoves  and  bringing  me  the  original  muster-roll  or 
pay-roll  of  my  great-grandfather's  company,  a  little  faded  and  yellow 
with  age  but  in  perfect  preservation,  containing  the  names  of  the 
fifty-three  men  who  composed  the  company,  date  and  place  of  enlist- 
ment, number  of  miles  marched,  amounts  due  each  one  for  mileage, 
service,  etc.,  etc.,  etc.,  and  on  the  back,  endorsed  for  filing,  in  a  bold, 
clerical  hand,  the  following : 

Capt  W"»  Meacham 
Army  Roll     £  206:     18/9 
Jany  9^'* 
Coll  Wodbridge's 

Reg». 

This  muster-roll  was  headed :  "  A  muster-roll  of  the  Company 
under  the  command  of  Captain  John  King  in  Colonel  Wood- 
bridge's  Regiment  to  the  first  of  August,  1775." 

The  first  line  is  in  substance  as  follows : 

William  Meacham,  town,  New  Salem;  rank,  Captain ;  killed  June  17; 
time  of  enlistment,  May  ye  11"*;  travel,  90  miles;  amount,  1**  a  mile  7/6; 
time  of  service,  1  month  9  days;  whole  amount,  £8  05"  11**  1^;  guns  1, 
bayonet  1,  himself  lost  June  it,  and  so  on. 

The  second  name  on  the  roll  is  that  of  John  King,  sergeant,  then 
captain,  the  one  who  succeeded  Capt.  Meacham  in  command,  and 
who  made  out  the  quarterly  pay-roll,  Aug.  1st  following.  It  is 
his  name,  evidently  taken  from  this  pay-roll,  which  appears  in  place 
of  Capt.  Meacham's  in  the  Eegister,  vol.  27,  p.  122,  for  1873. 

In  this  list  or  roll  of  fifty-three  men  in  Capt.  Meacham's  company, 
who  were  mostly  from  New  Salem,  appear  also  the  names  of  Jere- 
miah Meacham,  Jonathan  Meacham,  John  Meacham — four  brothers 
Meacham — and  Moses  Curtis,  who  married  their  sister  Mary  Meacham 
after  whom  my  mother  was  named.     John  Meacham  died  many 

*  For  fuiee,  no  doabt.

years  afterwards  at  Benson,  Yt.  Jeremiah  died  in  Oneida  Co. 
N.  Y.,  and  Jonathan  at  Petersham,  Mass.  Moses  Curtis  was  the 
grandfather  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Harvey  Curtis,  a  graduate  of  Mid- 
dlebuiy  College  and  subsequently  President  of  EInox  CoU^e,  Gales- 
burg,  111. 

Capt.  William  Meacham  was  bom  in  Salem,  Mass.,  March  10, 
1742,  and  married  Sarah  Cook  in  1771 — the  ancestor  of  the  fiunily 
came  over  to  Salem  previous  to  1640,  from  Somersetshire,  England. 

After  his  death  his  widow  with  her  two  young  children,  William 
and  Jeremiah,  removed  to  North  Adams  where  she  taught  school, 
and  then  married  Zadok  Everest,  a  widower  from  Ticonderoga, 
N.  Y.,  with  two  children,  William  and  Sally.  They  had  ten  c£ul- 
dren  more — Lois  who  married  Erastus  Swift  of  Bridport,  Yt.,  son 
of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Job  Swift,  and  afl;er  whom  I  was  named ;  Zadok, 
Dudley,  Udney,  Hiram,  Solomon,  Charles,  Loraine  (grandmother, 
I  think,  of  the  Murrays  of  Clarendon  Springs,  Vt.),  Ehoda  and 
Esther.  The  Everests  were  a  large  fanuly  connection  long  well 
known  on  the  lake  shore  in  Essex  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  in  Addison  Co., 
Vt.  The  Sally  Everest  mentioned  above  married  Loudon  Case 
and  lived  many  years  in  Bock  Island,  111. 

Since,  so  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  discover,  there  exists  no 
published  acknowledgment*  that  Capt.  William  Meacham  lost  his 
life  while  commanding  a  company  at  Bunker  Hill,  although  there 
is  abundant  and  easily  accessible  evidence  of  the  fact  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts State  Archives,  I  have  thought  it  a  matter  of  historical  na. 
well  as  family  interest  to  publish  these  particulars.  There  are  many 
descendants  of  Capt.  Meacham  and  his  brothers  who  will  be  inter-- 
ested  in  knowing  diem. 

Mr.  Edward  B.  Hill,  a  lawyer,  45  Wall  Street,  New  Tork,  and  great- 
grandson  of  the  Jonathan  Meacham  who  died  at  Fstereham,  has  a  corresi 
copy  of  the  moster^t)!!  mentioned  above,  which  I  hgyA  asked  him  to  send 
yon  for  publication,  if  you  can  find  space  foe  k.  K.  s.  w. 

*NoTB.— 'I  have  read  with  interest  the  foregoing  aceeont  of  Capt.  WiDiam. 
Meacham,  and  I  am  glad  to  report  that  his  sendees  have  already  been  recognized. 
In  1889  the  City  of  Boston  erected  BCemorUl  Tablets  in  Winthrop  Sqnare*. 
Charlestown,  inscribed  with  the  names  of*  all  the  soldiers  and  ofDcers  who  were 
killed  at  Banker  HilL  On  page  186  of  the  printed  Memorial  yolnme*  yoo  wUl- 
flnd  conmiemorated  General  Warren  and  elglk  other  officers. 

Later  on  I  obtained  proof  that  two  more  officers  were  killed  there^  Tift':  ■  CapL. 
William  Meacham  and  Uent.  Benjamin  West.  In  aty  Doe.  No.  54,  of  18S0»  L 
printed  the  evldenoe  regarding  Lieutenant  West.  I  printed  a  letter  in  tiia* 
Sprina/Uld  Bqmbliean  of  July  80,  1889,  stating  Ci^tain  Meacham'b  claims,, 
based  on  a  paper  then  recently  f  onnd  on  the  flies  at  tiie  State  Honse,  and  askinc 
for  particulars  about  him^  Soon  after,  thoogh  I  do  not  recaU  the  date,  I 
obtained  leave  from  the  proper  authorities,  and  had  these  two  names  added  on 
the  bronze  tablet.  For  some  fonr  years,  therefore.  Captain  Meacham  has  been 
properly  honored  and  the  tablet  can  be  seen  by  every  visitor. 

I  am  very  glad  however  that  Ignorance  ol  the  action  of  the  City  of  Bostoa 
has  led  Mr.  Willoox  to  prepare  the  preceding  aoooont.

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 

NOTBS. 

Dbscknbants  of  Benjamin  Clarke  and  Miriam  Kilbt. — ^An  excellent  article, 
^entitled  **  Christopher  Kilby,  of  Boston,"  may  be  read  in  the  Register,  of  1872, 
Vol.  xxvi.,  pp.  48-49.  Kilby*s  first  wife  Sarah,  whom  he  married  Aug.  17, 1726, 
was  a  daughter  of  the  Hon.  William  Clark,  and  niece  of  Dr.  John  Clark ;  she  died 
April  12,  1789,  ce.  81,  some  six  months  before  her  husband  was  sent  to  England, 
as  the  Provincial  Agent.  Other  notes  in  the  same  volume  (p.  487)  and  from  the 
same  pen,  respecting  the  family  of  William  Clark,  are  notably  at  error  as  to  the 
aon  Benjamin,  who  is  stated  to  have  married  (Ap.  2, 1724)  Miriam  Kilby,  cousin 
of  the  Agent,  and  to  have  had  descendants  by  the  name  of  Mason,  Philips, 
Cntler,  etc.  In  a  letter  of  Feb.  11,  1876,  the  late  Charles  W.  Tuttle,  Esq.,  who 
wrote  the  account  of  Mr.  Kilby,  and  the  subsequent  notes,  says :  "  I  took  some 
imins  to  be  accurate  in  my  statements,  in  the  little  sketch  of  Mr.  Clark  and  his 
descendants,  in  the  Register  referred  to.  I  have  gone  over  my  authorities  again 
to  some  extent,  and  find  only  this  amendment  to  make,  viz. :  Benjamin  Clarke 
signed  his  will  adding  a  final  e  to  his  name ;  I  have  many  of  his  father's  letters, 
all  without  the  final  e."  He  then  proceeds  to  state  that  the  Benjamin  in 
question  died  in  1746,  leaving  a  will  which  mentions  his  wife  and  the  children 
(as  given  in  the  Register,  1872);  among  them  Benjamin,  a  minor,  *'now  in 
Collie.  I  got  some  information  of  this  Benjamin's  descendants  from  an  old 
gentleman  living  here,  son  of  the  late  Hon.  Jonathan  Mason.  He  told  me  that 
Benjamin,  H.  C.,  and  his  brother  Christopher,  never  married.  They  were  his 
great-uncles." 

In  refutation  of  the  above  statement,  it  will  perhaps  be  sufficient  to  say  that 
Benjamin,  son  of  the  Hon.  William  Clark,  was  bap.  at  the  O.  N.  as  late  as  Auff. 
10, 1718,  and  consequently  could  not  have  married  in  1724 ;  and  that  on  Jan.  6, 
1746-7,  Benjamin  Clarke,  merchant,  and  Rebecca  Winslow,  widow,  two  of  the 
ehildven  and  heirs  of  William  Clarke,  Esq.,  deceased,  to  their  brother-in-law 
Thomas  Greenough,  mathematical-instrument  maker,  quit  claim  in  the  estate  of 
the  late  William  Clarke,  now  occupied  by  his  widow  Sarah  Clarke,  one  messuage 
near  the  Old  North  meeting-house,  butted  on  n.e.  by  land  of  Thomas  Hntcheson, 
said  Benjamin  Clarke  and  Rebecca  Winslow  and  Susanna  wife  of  the  said  Ben- 
jamin Clarke,"  &c. ;  Suff.  Deeds,  Vol.  71,  p.  264.  Ten  years  later  the  house  was 
sold  by  Greenough  to  Sir  Charles  H.  Frankland.  Clarke  died  a  widower  and 
childless,  before  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War. 

As  regards  the  Benjamin  Clarke  who  did  maiTy  Miriam  Kilby,  we  gather  from 
the  Boston  records  that  Pilgrim  Simpklns,  having  buried  his  first  wife  Miriam 
in  Nov.  1660,  was  married  a  year  later  to  his  second,  Catherine  Richardson.  The 
first  was  mother  of  Miriam,  wife  of  Thomas  Tyler,  whose  second  son  William, 
b.  1687,  married  first  Sarah  Royall,  and  second,  Jane,  widow  of  Capt.  Benj. 
Clark  of  Kingston,  N.  H.,  and  sister  of  Sir  Wm.  Pepperell.  By  his  second  mar- 
riage Simpklns  had  two  daughters :  Rebecca,  b.  14  March,  1665,  and  Sarah,  b.  21 
Sept.,  1668;  the  first  married  John  Kilby  and  was  mother  of  Chistopher,  the 
Prov.  Agent;  the  second  married  March  20,  1691,  Christopher  Kilby  (brother  of 
John),  and  had  Christopher,  b.  July  24,  1692,  and  Miriam,  b.  Dec.  5,  1696,  who 
married,  April  2,  1724,  Benjamin  Clarke  of  Boston,  after  whose  death  she  be- 
come the  wife  of  Samuel  Hill.  Mrs.  Miriam  Clarke's  portrait,  by  Copley,  was 
lately  in  the  possession  of  her  gt.-grand-dau.,  Mrs.  Thomas  W.  Phillips.*  In 
his  will  of  Jan.  21,  1746,  proved  Feb.  16,  following,  Benjamin  Clarke,  "felt- 
maker,"  of  Boston,  "infirm  &  weak  of  body,"  mentions  his  wife  Miriam  and 
five  children,  all  under  age,  viz. :  Benjamin,  who  is  to  be  sent  to  Harvard  Col- 
lege, Christopher,  Miriam,  Sarah  and  Mary.  In  the  Inventory  of  Feb.  23, 
Clarke  is  styled  "hatter."  John  Phillips  was  appointed  executor.  As  to  the 
children ;  Benjamin,  H.  C.  1750,  is  starred  as  dead  in  1811 ;  his  bosiness  was  that 
of  a  brazier ;  Christopher  was  living  in  1760,  a  shopkeeper  of  Boston ;  Miriam 
m.  Oct.  12,  1747,  Jonathan,  son  of  Benjamin  and  Elizabeth  (Scollay)  Mason,

York  County  (Me.)  Deeds. — 

The  attention  of  genealogists  is  called  to  the  value  of  the  ten  volumes  of  the 
deeds  recorded  In  York,  which  have  been  published  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Maine  Historical  Society,  covering  the  period  1642-1722.  They  contain  a  great 
amount  of  family  history  of  interest  to  genealogists  of  the  other  New  England 
States.  The  Indian  Wars  of  1676-1690  drove  away  about  all  the  settlers  along 
the  Maine  coast,  and  they  became  scattered  throughout  Massachusetts,  New 
Hampshire,  Rhode  Island  and  Connecticut.  For  nearly  a  third  of  a  century 
the  Province  of  Maine  was  left  to  the  aboriginal  residents  and  during  that  time 
those  who  had  fled  from  their  old  home  became  permanent  settlers  in  their 
several  places  of  refuge,  and  when  the  province  began  to  be  resettled  1710-1730, 
they  or  their  descendants  sold  their  Maine  estates  to  others.  The  deeds  of  trans- 
fer contain,  therefore,  many  recitals  of  old  and  new  residences,  descents  and  re- 
lationship, etc.,  which  are  of  extreme  value.  I  quote  examples  from  some  of 
the  late  volumes  to  show  this  feature  and  I  would  advise  genealogists  to  consult 
the  fine  indices  of  these  ten  volumes  before  they  g^ve  up  the  search  for  some 
elusive  ancestor. 

New  Hampshire.  Job  Clement  of  Dover  with  the  consent  of  Capt.  John 
Heard  and  all  the  rest  of  the  children  of  James  Heard,  late  of  Kittery  transfers

house, late  of  Saco,  1719.     (X.,  183.)    This  name  is  modernized  as  Backus. 

Matthew  Estes  of  Salem  and  wife  Philadelphia,  **  in  time  past  relict  widdow  of 
Edward  Hayes,  late  of  Kittery.**  1719.  (IX.,  265.)  She  was  daughter  of 
Reynold  Jenkins.

Me.,  1714.     (IX.,  342.) 

New  York.  Matthew  Rew,  late  of  Kennebec  River,  now  resident  of  Staten 
Island,  sells  certain  property  at  former  place  1683.     (X.,  262.)

Childs  Family. — In  the  genealogy  of  the  Child,  Childs,  Childe  family,  by 
Elias  Child,  Utica,  1881,  page  682,  Reuben  Childs  is  given  as  the  head  of  a  large 
body  of  descendants.  His  ancestors  are  reported  unknown  to  the  writer.  His 
posterity  may  be  glad  to  learn  that  Reuben  Childs  was  son  of  Asa  Childs  and 
Rhoda,  daughter  of  Capt.  Benjamin  Wright,  a  noted  partisan  oflScer  in  the  Indian 
wars.  Reuben  was  bom  at  Deerfleld,  and  baptized  February  15, 1755.  He  was 
one  of  the  minute  men  who  marched  from  Deerfleld  under  Capt.  Jonas  Locke, 
on  the  Lexington  alarm,  April  20,  1775.  He  soon  enlisted  in  the  company  of 
Capt.  Joseph  Stebbins,  his  old  lieutenant,  and  was  under  him  at  the  battle  of 
Bunker  Hill.  Capt.  Stebbins  had  not  then  secured  his  commission;  it  was 
signed  by  John  Hancock,  President  of  Congress,  July  5,  1775.  Childs  was  out 
again  on  the  Burgoyne  invasion,  and  in  1778  on  the  alarm  at  New  London.  He 
went  to  Conway  in  1812,  where  he  died  October  15, 1843.

Note  by  the  Editor. — John  Greenleaf  of  Boston,  the  father  of  Samuel,  above 
mentioned,  married  Hannah,  daughter  of  William  Veasey  of  Braintree,  Mass., 
July  26, 1665.  See  Bboistbr,  vol.  47,  page  301,  where  a  record  of  his  family 
is  given.  No  connection  has  yet  been  traced  between  him  and  Edmund  Green- 
leaf of  Newbury  and  Boston. 


Roger  Grant. — The  following  item  may  be  of  interest  to  some  readers  of 
the  Register,  as  Roger  Grant  is  not  mentioned  by  Mr.  Savage : 

June  26  1662.  Roger  Grant  the  younger,  of  the  Isles  of  Shoals,  was  appren- 
ticed to  Ezekiel  Northend  of  Rowley  for  thirteen  years  in  consideration  of  one 
hundred  weight  of  bread  and  one  hundred  weight  of  pork  paid  immediately  to 
his  father  and  three  suits  of  clothes,  three  cows  not  over  seven  years  old  and 
a  sow  pig  to  himself  at  the  end  of  the  term. 

In  1679  Roger  Jr.  acknowledged  the  receipt  of  the  aforesaid  articles.

Early  Boston  Book-binder.— In  the  York  Co  (Maine)  Registry  of  Deeds, 
Vol.  IX.,  p.  286,  there  is  a  document  which  refers  to  Nicholas  Buttolph  **  book- 
binder" of  Boston,  under  date  of  1718,  which  may  be  worthy  of  record  as  pre- 
serving the  name  of  one  of  the  early  bibliopegists  of  the  Hub.

Whbelock.  —Savage  in  **  Genealogical  Dictionary"  says: 

**  Of  Samuel  son  of  Ralph  Wheelock  I  have  power  to  tell  nothing  except  tliat 
he  lived  in  Shrewsbury.*' 

Ward  in  *•  Register  of  Shrewsbury  Families  "  says : 

'*  Deacon  Samuel  Wheelock,  whose  wife's  name  was  Lydia,  came  to  Sbewsbury 
from  Marlboro'  before  1720."    (Shrewsbury  was  founded  1717.) 

Temple  In  **  History  of  Framingham  "  says : 

*'Lydia  daughter  of  Henry  Rice  married  Samuel  Wheelock." 

By  uniting  these  three  records,  I  am  led  to  believe  that  they  refer  to  the  same 
person,  and  that  this  Deacon  Satnuel  was  son  of  Ralph,  and  that  he  married 
Lydia  Rice  daughter  of  Henry  and  granddaughter  of  Edmund  Rice. 

The  chief  dlscrepimcy  Is  in  the  difference  between  the  date  of  his  birth  (1642) 
and  that  of  his  first  child  (1695-6).  But  if  he  Is  that  Samuel  Wheelock  who 
according  to  Temple  married  Lydia  Rice,  he  must  have  been  married  late  in  life, 
for  Lydia  Rice  was  bom  1668,  and  was,  therefore,  26  years  his  junior,  and  would 
have  been  but  26  or  27  years  old  at  the  time  of  the  birth  of  his  first  child. 
Among  his  children  were :  Elizabeth,  Hannah,  Tamar,  Rachel — names  corres- 
ponding to  the  sisters  of  Lydia  Rice.  Judson  Keith  Drming.

Tatlor  and  Wright. — ^Wanted,  1.  The  parentage  of  Thankful  Taylor  (one

there  Dec.  26,  by  the  Rev.  Bamabas  Taylor.  They  moved  to  Providence  1787, 
and  later  (date  not  recorded)  were  given  a  letter  from  the  Beneficent  Congre- 
gational Church,  which  they  had  joined,  and  where  Benjamin  Cary  was  deacon,

Lattimbr. — An  ancient  stone  on  *'  Old  Bnrial  Hill,"  Marblehead,  records  that 
Christopher  Lattemore  (sic)  died  in  1690,  aged  about  70,  and  his  wife  Mary  Lat- 
timer  in  1681  se  49.  The  name  of  their  son  Hugh  Latimer  suggests  descent  from 
the  brave  and  prophetic  English  martyr.  Their  daughter  Susanna  married  John 
Pedrick,  who  concealed  high  lineage  under  an  assumed  name  and  was  progeni- 
tor of  a  race  of  merchants.  Another  daughter,  Mary  Latimer,  married  Col. 
Nathaniel  Norden,  the  earliest  aristocrat  of  the  town ;  who  used  a  coat  of  arms 
and  *'held  no  great  correspondence  with  other  families.*'  Savage  says  Col. 
Norden  was  *' perhaps  brother  of  Samuel  the  cordwainer  of  Boston,"  but  it  is 
more  probable  that  he  was  that  son  of  the  latter  born  in  1658.  Can  any  one 
confirm  this?  He  married,  after  1719,  Mary,  daughter  of  Capt.  John  Legg  and 
widow  of  Edward  Brattle,  who  was  son  and  brother  of  the  two  Thomases  of 
Boston.  Col.  Norden  died  in  1724,  and  in  1728  she  married  Edward  Goffe  of 
Cambridge.  Norden's  will  states  that  his  sister  Hannah  married  Joshua  Huse 
cordwainer,  formerly  of  Boston,  and  that  their  daughter  Hannah  married  Jo- 
seph Dolbeare,  and  it  makes  a  bequest  to  Mary  Perkins,  late  Mary  Hooper  wife 
of  Samuel  Hooper  deceased,  and  to  her  daughter  Mary  Hooper;  also  to  Samuel 
Hooper  **  son  to  my  half  sister,  daughter  of  my  father  by  his  wife  my  mother 
in  law."    What  Hoopers  were  these?  J.  R.  K. 


Williams.— In  diary  of  Rev.  John  Eliot,  dated,  "Roxbury,  Ap.  8,  1673," 
occurs  the  following:  *'  Received  of  Colo.  Williams  a  bag  of  coppers — weiglit 
84  pounds — in  part  of  my  salary  for  the  year  currant — the  same  being  by  esti- 
mation £1,  18,  4  lawful  money  and  for  which  I  am  to  be  accountable."  Who 
was  the  **Colo.  Williams"  referred  to?  Those  of  the  name  living  at  Roxbury 
at  that  date  were  Robert  Williams  (claimed  by  the  Anc.  &  Hon.  Art.  Company 
as  a  member,  but  not  an  officer),  Nicholas  his  brother,  Samuel  Williams  his 
son,  a  deacon  of  the  church,  and  Stephen  Williams,  also  his  son,  who  was  of 
the  Roxbury  militia  company  and  afterwards  its  captain."

Ralph  Lkb  appears  as  a  witness  in  a  deed  recorded  in  Chester  County,  Pa. , 
Book  E,  page  55,  dated  September  2,  1727,  executed  in  London  by  Elizabeth 
Green,  wife  of  John  Green  of  London,  et  al.,  and  acknowledged  by  Ralph  Lee 
October  15,  1731,  before  Jeremiah  Langhorn,  Register  and  Recorder  of  Bucks 
County,  Pa.,  which  appears  to  show  that  Ralph  Lee  was  in  London  in  1727  and 
in  Bucks  County,  Pa.,  in  1731.  It  would,  therefore,  seem  probable  that  he  is  a 
relative,  perhaps  father  or  brother,  of  William  Lee,  who  first  appeared  in  Bucks 
County,  Pa.,  in  1725,  was  married  there  ia  1727,  and  had  a  son  named  Ralph 
Lee. 

Wanted,  record  of  any  Lee  family  through  any  will  or  pedigree  record,  pro-

Hawks. — I  am  desiroos  of  learning  something  of  the  ancestry  and  birth-place 
of  John  Hawes  who  was  a  son  of  John  Hawes.  He  was  bom  in  1762  and  died 
in  AcQshnet,  Mass.,  in  1828.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  held  the  office  of  col-

There  is  in  the  Sigourney  family  a  silver  cup  which,  according  to  an  inveterate 
tradition,  came  over  with  their  first  ancestor  about  1686.  The  word  "  Channers  ** 
is  stamped  upon  the  Sigourney  heirloom — doubtless  the  maker's  name.  Its  claim 
to  antiquity  must  be  confirmed  or  confuted  in  proportion  to  the  light  which  can 
be  thrown  on  the  name  Channers.  Who  knows  of  any  other  silver  bearing  the

Replies. 

Rev.  John  Maverick  (Begister,  xlvlii.,  207).  The  following  Interesting 
memorandum  has  been  forwarded  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Rev.  Arthur 
Burch,  connected  with  the  Diocesan  Registry,  Exeter.  John  Maverick,  clerk, 
M.A.,  was  instituted  to  Seaworthy,  Aug.  30,  1616,  at  Sllverton,  co.  Devon.,  by 
William  Cotton,  Bishop  of  Exeter,  on  the  death  of  John  Norrice,  and  ou  the 
presentation  of  Sir  Jonn  Arscott.  The  next  Rector,  John  Cr ought,  B.A.,  was 
Instituted  March  24,  1629,  the  living  being  then  vacant  through  the  free  resig- 
nation of  John  Mavericke,  the  last  possessor  thereof.  I.  J.  G. 


Williams  Family. — In  the  Register  for  1858,  pp.  297,  298,  was  printed  a 
brief  account  of  two  branches  of  the  Williams  family.  Since  that  account  was 
written,  I  have  found  proof  that  Henry  Williams  of  Amesbury  was  the  Henry 
born  In  1699,  son  of  Thomas  of  Newbury;  but  I  have  been  unable  to  trace 
Thomas  any  further  back  than  his  appearance  In  Newbury,  about  1696.  I  have, 
however,  recently  found  an  item  which  may  be  of  interest  to  some  branches  of 
the  Williams  family,  particularly  to  those  who  trace  their  ancestry  to  Norwich, 
Conn. 

Joseph  Williams,  bom  In  1647,  son  of  John  of  Newbury  and  Haverhill,  Mass., 
removed  from  Haverhill  to  Norwich  before  1722 ;  for,  in  that  year,  Joseph  Wil- 
liams of  Norwich,  Ct.,  sold  land  inherited  from  his  father,  John  Williams  of 
Haverhill.  Undoubtedly  this  is  the  Joseph  Williams  who  was  admitted  to  Nor- 
wich in  1702,  and  a  vote  passed  that  he  be  **  entered  as  a  whole  share  man  re- 
specting lands."    See  Caulklns*s  History  of  Norwich,  edition  of  1866,  p.  252. 

There  was  a  John  Williams  who  appeared  in  Norwich  about  the  same  time, 
and  who  became  very  wealthy  and  Influential.  The  historian  of  Norwich  states 
that  he  was  '*  apparently  an  original  emigrant.^'  The  Williams  family  genealogy, 
published  in  1847,  gives  an  account  of  his  descendants,  pp.  321-325,  and  states 
that  he  was  bom  in  1680,  that  the  family  tradition  was  that  he  emigrated  from 
Wales  to  Massachusetts,  and  that  his  flrst  wife  was  Hannah  Knowlton,  from 
Massachusetts.  Now  the  Joseph  Williams  who  removed  from  Haverhill  to  Nor- 
wich had  but  one  son,  John,  bom  in  Haverhill,  Feb.  1679-80,  who  probably 
removed  with  his  father  to  Norwich,  Ct.,  and  must  be  the  *'Capt.  John  Wil- 
liams "  referred  to  in  the  books  above  named.  David  W.  Hoyt.

Cratfkld  Parish  Documents. — ^The  Importance  of  these  parisb  docnments 
which  lie  unnoticed  for  centuries  in  the  solid  oaken  chests  in  oar  churches 
has  been  fully  estimated  by  antiquaries.  When  registers  hare  perished  the 
genealogist  has  often  found  his  knowledge  supplemented  by  reference  to  the 
parochial  accounts  and  public  events,  as  well  as  the  habits  of  our  fathers  in 
private,  have  light  thrown  upon  them  by  the  quaint  items  of  expenditure  which 
the  Churchwardens  record  year  by  year. 

The  late  Rev.  William  Holland,  Rector  of  Huntingfield,  SuflTolk,  made  large 
transcripts  from  these  books,  and  the  Cratfleld  extracts  have  been  selected  for 
publication,  being  of  unusual  antiquity.  They  begin  in  1490,  and  the  forthcom- 
ing volume  carries  the  record  as  late  as  1642.  The  accounts  of  the  Parish 
Guild  will  be  valuable  to  those  who  are  studying  the  detail  of  Guild  History. 
Mr.  Holland  has  added  historical  notes  at  the  end  of  each  year,  by  which  the 
reader  may  see  how  the  incidents  of  village  life  were  frequently  the  reflection 
of  famous  national  episodes,  for  instance  how  a  remote  SuflTolk  village  was 
aJDTected  by  the  Lady  Jane  Grey  rebellion,  or  by  the  Spanish  Armada. 

Every  care  has  been  taken  to  preserve  the  original  spelling,  etc.,  and  the 
editorship  has  been  entrusted  to  the  Rev.  Canon  &ven,  D.  D.,  F.  S.  A.,  Vicar 
of  Fressingfleld,  a  parish  adjoining  to  Cratfleld. 

The  work  will  be  published  by  Messrs.  Jarrold  k  Sons,  of  10  and  11  Warwick 
Lane,  £.  C. 


Clapp.— I  have  made  an  exhaustive  collection  of  local  material  regarding  the 
English  ancestry  of  Capt.  Roger  Clapp  and  others  of  the  name  in  Devonshire. 
To  complete  the  evidence,  however,  will  require  the  Parish  Registers  of  Sal- 
combe  Regis  and  Sidbury,  both  of  which  have  most  unfortunately  perished  (the 
latter  very  recently),  and  their  missing  entries  can  now  only  be  obtained  by  a 
search  of  the  Bishops*  Transcripts  in  the  Diocesan  Registry  at  Exeter.  If  any 
members  of  the  family  take  sufliclent  interest  in  their  ancestry  to  defray  a  por- 
tion at  least  of  the  small  amount  necessary  to  do  this  and  perfect  their  pedigree, 
I  should  be  pleased  to  communicate  with  them.  J.  Hknbt  Lba.

all  facts  of  interest  illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  the  holding  of  other  offices, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and 
date!<  of  births,  marriages,  residence  and  death.  When  there  are  more  than  one

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  NEW-ENGLAND  HISTORIC 

GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prepared  by  the  Historiographer,  Bev.  Ezra  Hott  Btinotox,  D.D.,  of  Newton,  Mass. 

The  sketches  of  deceased  members  prepared  for  the  Rboistbh  are  of 
necessity  brief,  because  the  space  that  can  be  appropriated  is  quite  limited. 
All  the  materials  for  more  extended  memoirs  which  can  be  gathered  are 
preserved  in  the  archives  of  the  Society,  and  they  will  be  available  for  use 
in  preparing  the  "Memorial  Biographies,"  of  which  four  volumes  have 
been  issued  and  a  fifth  volume  is  in  press.  The  income  from  the  Towne 
Memorial  Fund  is  devoted  to  the  publication  of  these  volumes. 

Hon.  Moses  Kimball,  an  enterprising  citizen  of  Boston,  and  a  generous  bene- 
factor of  this  Society,  was  bom  in  Newbnryport,  Mass.,  October  24,  1809.  and 
died  in  Boston  February  21,  1896. 

The  Kimball  family  Is  descended  from  Richard  and  Ursula  Kimball,  who  came 
from  England  in  the  ship  Elizabeth  in  1634,  and  settled  in  Watertown,  removing 
three  years  later  to  Ipswich.  They  came  from  Rattlesden,  in  Suffolk,  England. 
The  family  line  of  descent  is  as  follows:  (1)  Richard,  (2)  Caleb,  (3)  Caleb, 
(4)  John,  (5)  Nathaniel,  (6)  David,  to  Moses  Kimball,  Utely  of  this  city. 

Mr.  Kimball  was  a  self-made  man.  He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  in 
Gloucester,  to  which  place  his  parents  removed  when  he  was  a  child.  At  the  age 
of  fifteen  he  came  to  Boston  to  find  a  place  in  a  store.  In  1833  he  was  able  to 
purchase  the  New  England  Galaxy,  which  he*published  a  number  of  years. 
He  published  a  number  of  famous  engravings,  such  as  **  Stuart's  Washington" 
and  "  Signing  the  Declaration  of  Independence."  A  few  years  later  he  estab- 
lished a  *' lecture  room"  in  Lowell,  where  theatrical  exhibitions  were  given, 
and  where  curiosities  of  special  interest  were  exhibited.  About  1840  he  pur- 
chased the  New  England  Museum  in  Boston,  and  a  year  later  opened  what  is 
now  the  Boston  Museum,  in  a  building  on  the  comer  of  Tremont  and  Bromfleld 
streets.  The  present  building  was  erected  five  years  later  at  a  cost  of  about 
two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars.  To  this  famous  museum  he  gave  the 
best  years  of  his  long  life.  For  a  long  time  it  was  one  of  the  leading  attrac- 
tions of  Boston. 

Outside  his  large  private  business,  Mr.  Kimball  was  Interested  in  political 
affairs.  In  the  earlier  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  old  Whig  party.  He 
became  a  strong  anti-slavery  man,  and  when  the  Republican  party  was  formed 
he  was  early  a  member  of  it.  He  was  elected  to  the  Common  Council  of  Boston 
in  1849  and  1850,  and  the  next  year  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen. 
He  was  elected  to  the  Legislature  sixteen  times  between  1850  and  1876,  and  was 
an  active  and  influential  member,  serving  on  the  most  important  committees, 
and  taking  a  leading  part  in  the  most  important  legislation.  He  was  the  first 
chairman  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  Lunacy  and  Charity.  He  was  also  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  for  Public  Institutions ;  a  member  of  the 
Water  Roard,  and  a  director  in  several  railroad  corporations  and  banking  and 
insurance  companies.  He  will  be  remembered  for  his  liberal  gifts  for  public 
uses,  especially  for  the  bronze  emancipation  group  which  now  stands  in  Park 
Square.    This  elaborate  work  of  art  was  designed  by  Thomas  Ball,  and  cast  in 


220  Ifecrology  of  Historic  Genealogical  Society.       [April, 

MoDich.  It  was  unveiled  December  6,  1879.  A  poem  by  John  G.  Whlttier  was 
read ;  an  address  was  delivered  by  Mayor  Frederick  O.  Prince,  and  prayer  was 
offered  by  Rev.  Phillips  Brooks,  D.D. 

Mr.  Kimball  was  elected  a  member  of  this  society  February  6,  1878,  and  had 
been  a  friend  and  generons  contributor  to  its  funds.  By  his  will  he  left  a  legacy 
of  $5,000  to  this  Society.  He  married,  June  25, 1834,  Frances  Lavinia  Hathaway, 
daughter  of  John  Hathaway,  a  prominent  merchant  of  Boston,  by  whom  he  had 
two  sons  and  five  daughters.    The  sons  died  young. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Society  March  6,  the  following  resolutions,  prepared  by 
the  Hon.  Martin  Parry  Kennard,  were  adopted : 

Besolved,  That  by  the  recent  death  of  the  Honorable  Moses  Kimball  of  Brook- 
line,  Massachusetts,  this  Society  is  called  to  mourn  the  loss  of  a  greatly  esteemed 
member,  who  was  ever  warmly  interested  in  its  work.  In  his  passing  away,  this 
Society  has  also  to  deplore  the  absence  of  a  distinguished  and  valued  citizen, 
whose  patriotic  spirit  burned  with  constant  manifestations  of  generous  public 
Interest  during  his  long  and  active  career,  which  was  especially  notable  for  his 
devotion  to  our  City  and  State,  illustrated  by  his  valuable  and  extended  seasons 
of  service  in  their  counsels,  again  and  again  repeated  in  obedience  to  popular 
ballot,  and  it  is  also 

Besolved,  That  this  Society  deems  it  fitting  that  this  moderately  appreciative 
mention  of  this  esteemed  citizen  may  be  placed  on  its  records,  recalling  also  his 
unflinching  adherence  to  the  Union  cause  in  past  times  of  divided  counsels,  and 
again  his  public  spirit  manifested  at  his  death  by  the  munificence  of  his  testa- 
mentary bequests  to  public  charity. 

Hon.  Eben  Francis  Stone,  A.M.,  LL.B.,  of  Newbur3rport,  a  resident  mem- 
ber of  this  Society,  elected  March  3,  1875,  was  born  in  Newbnryport  August  3, 
1822,  and  died  in  Newbnryport  January  22,  1895.  He  was  the  son  of  Ebenezer 
Stone  of  Newbnryport  and  Fanny  Cooledge  of  Boston.  He  belonged  to  one  of 
the  oldest  families  of  New  England,  tracing  his  descent  through  six  generations 
to  Ellas  Stone  of  Charlestown,  who  was  the  first  of  the  name  in  Massachusetts. 
The  family  resided  in  Charlestown  in  the  seventeenth  century,  but  removed  to 
Newbnryport. 

Col.  Stone  was  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1843,  and  at  the  Harvard  Law 
School  in  1846,  and  began  to  practice  his  profession  the  next  year.  Asa  lawyer 
he  attained  much  distinction.  Everybody  confided  In  his  judgment  and  in- 
tegrity. He  was  the  intimate  friend  of  Caleb  Cushing,  and  was  an  associate  of 
Choate,  Rautoul  and  other  distinguished  lawyers  of  Old  Essex.  He  was  a 
strong  anti-slavery  man,  enjoying  the  friendship  of  Whittier,  Garrison  and 
Phillips.  He  represented  his  native  city  in  the  House  of  Representatives  of 
Massachusetts  four  years,  and  was  three  years  a  member  of  the  Senate.  When 
the  civil  war  broke  out  he  enlisted  as  a  private,  but  recruited  a  company,  and 
was  soon  commissioned  colonel  of  the  48th  Regiment  Massachusetts  Volunteers 
and  served  through  the  war  with  distinction.  A  large  part  of  the  time  his 
regiment  served  in  Louisiana. 

He  returned  to  Newbur3rport  after  the  war,  and  resumed  the  practice  of  the 
law.  In  1867  he  was  mayor  of  the  city.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  Congress 
in  1880  and  served  three  terms  in  that  body.  He  was  an  active  and  influential 
member  of  Congress.  He  was  among  the  few  Republicans  who  enjoyed  the 
personal  confidence  of  President  Cleveland  at  that  time.  He  withdrew  to 
private  life  at  the  close  of  his  last  term. 

Few  men  ranked  higher  in  Newbnryport  than  Colonel  Stone.  He  was  a  fair- 
minded  man,  of  excellent  good  sense.  He  was  a  man  of  considerable  learning, 
and  was  an  authority  in  matters  of  local  history.  He  was  a  vigorous  and 
eloquent  writer. 

He  married  Harriet  F.  Perrin  of  Boston.  The  following  resolutions  pre- 
pared by  Rev.  Samuel  C.  Beane,  D.D.,  were  adopted  by  the  New-England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  at  its  meeting  in  February : 

WhereaSy  our  estimable  associate,  Honorable  Eben  Francis  Stone  of  New- 
bury port,  has  been  called  from  us  by  death  since  our  last  meeting,  and  it  is  our 
approved  custom  to  put  on  record  some  memorial  of  our  valuable  members  who 
pass  away : 

Beaolvedy  That  in  the  death  of  Colonel  Stone  we  experience  the  loss  of  one  who

Society,  as  a  careful  inyestlgator  of  the  beginnings  of  society  on  these  shores, 
and  as  an  able  and  Jndicions  writer  on  biographical  subjects,  while  herepresented 
in  his  own  person  the  best  traditions  and  influences  of  New  England. 

We  recall  bis  valuable  public  services  in  the  highest  offices  of  his  ovm  ci^, 
in  both  Houses  of  the  Massachusetts  Legislature,  and  in  the  national  House  of 
Bepresentatives.  We  likewise  pay  our  tribute  to  his  patriotism  as  shown  by 
his  enlistment  as  a  private  soldier  in  the  army  of  the  Union,  and  his  honorable 
record  as  commander,  in  active  service,  of  the  Forty-eighth  Massachusetts 
Begiment. 

We  mourn  him  as  a  man  of  exalted  character,  who,  with  a  reverend  interest 
in  the  past,  served  well,  and  in  many  ways,  the  times  in  which  he  lived. 

[Gen.  Stone  published  several  historical  pamphlets,  among  them  an  Address 
before  the  Essex  Bar,  Feb.  2,  1899,  in  which  he  gave  sketches  of  three  extra- 
ordinary men,  natives  of  Essex  County,  namely,  Choate,  Cuahing  and  Bantoul. 
See  Register,  vol.  43,  page  334.  He  was  a  valued  contributor  to  the  Bbgis-

Peter  Thachkr,  A.M.,  of  Newtonville,  was  bom  in  Kennebunk,  Blaine, 
October  14,  1810,  and  died  in  Newtonville,  October  21,  1894.  He  was  elected 
a  resident  member  of  this  Society  Bfarch  6th,  1873. 

Mr.  Thacher  belonged  to  an  honored  New  England  famUy,  which  was  de- 
cended  from  Rev.  Peter  Thacher,  who  was  bom  in  England  about  1588.  He 
received  the  degree  of  B.A.  from  Corpus  Christi  College,  Oxford,  in  1608,  and 
the  degree  of  M.A.  In  1611.  He  became  a  Fellow  of  the  College  in  1618,  and 
vicar  of  the  parish  of  Milton-Clevedon,  in  1616;  and  in  1622  rector  of  the 
Church  of  St.  Edmunds,  in  Salisbury.  He  was  a  man  of  talents,  a  non-conformist 
in  the  Established  Church.  The  leaders  of  the  parish,  at  that  time,  were 
Puritans.  The  Bishop  also  favored  the  Puritans.  The  following  inscription 
is  upon  his  tomb:  **  Here  lyeth  y  body  of  Mr.  Peter  Thatcher,  who  was  a 
laborious  minister  in  preaching  y  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  to  y«  people  of  Edmonds 
by  y*  space  of  XIX  yeares  who  departed  this  lyfe  on  y«  Lord's  Day  at  night, 
being  the  XIV  of  Febraary  1640.    Let  noe  man  move  his  bones.    T.D." 

We  may  compare  the  last  line  of  this  inscription  with  tliat  on  the  tomb  of 
Shakepcare  twenty-four  years  earlier : 

'*  And  cvrst  be  he  y*  moves  my  bones." 

His  son  Thomas,  who  was  bom  May  1,  1620,  was  prepared  for  the  University 
by  his  father.  But  he  already  shured  the  Puritan  principles  of  his  father, 
and  he  could  not  conscientiously  make  the  subscriptions  required  of  those  who 
entered  the  Universities.  He  preferred  to  cross  the  sea,  that  he  might  enjoy 
liberty  of  conscience  in  the  wilds  of  New  England.  His  parents  r^llly  con- 
sented, as  they  intended  to  follow  him.  This  was  prevented  by  the  death  of 
his  mother.  Thomas  Thacher  came  to  Massachusetts  in  1635,  at  the  age  of 
fifteen.  As  Har^-ard  College  was  not  yet  in  operation  he  placed  himself  under 
the  tuition  of  the  learned  and  Reverend  Charles  Chauncy ,  afterward  President  of 
Harvard  College.  He  received  his  education  through  him,  and  was  prepared  for 
the  ministry.  He  is  said  to  have  been  proficient  in  Latin  and  Greek,  and  also  in 
Hebrew,  Syriac,  and  Arabic,  and  to  have  been  **  well  skilled  In  the  Arts,  especial- 
ly in  Logic.**  He  published  a  Hebrew  Grammar  and  Lexicon.  In  1644  or  early 
in  1645  he  was  ordained  at  Weymouth,  and  was  the  pastor  of  the  church  in  that 
place  for  about  twenty  years.  He  studied  medicine  as  well  as  divinity,  and  for 
many  years  he  was  a  practising  physician  in  Weymouth.  Removing  to  Boston 
he  l)ecame  eminent  in  the  medical  profession  in  that  town.  When  the  Third 
Church  (now  the  Old  South)  was  founded,  he  was  chosen  its  pastor,  and  was 
ordained  again,  and  installed  the  first  minister  of  the  church  in  1670.  He  con- 
tinued in  that  station  till  his  death  in  1678.  Two  of  his  sons  were  ministers. 
The  list  of  his  descendants  includes  a  large  number  of  distinguished  men,  physi- 
cians, lawyers,  ministers  and  business  men. 

Hon.  Peter  Thacher  was  of  the  fifth  generation  from  the  first  pastor  of  the 
Old  South  Church.  His  father  was  Stephen  Thacher,  who  was  graduated  from 
Yale  College  in  1795,  and  married  Harriet  Preble,  a  sister  of  Judge  William  P. 
Preble  of  York,  Maine,  and  removed  to  Maine,  where  he  had  a  distinguished 
and  nsef  111  career.  His  second  son,  Peter,  was  prepared  for  college  at  Washing- 
ton Academy,  East  Machias,  Maine,  and  was  graduated  from  Bowdoin  College 
in  1831,  in  a  class  which  included  a  number  of  men  who  have  since  been  famous

in  literatare,  law  and  political  life.  He  stadied  law  in  Portland,  with  his  nncle 
Jndge  Preble,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Bar  in  1837.  He  practised  law  in 
Machias  fifteen  years,  and  sixteen  years  in  Rockland.  He  was  appointed  a 
Commissioner  of  Bankruptcy  while  he  lived  in  Maine,  and  later  he  was  Register 
in  Bankruptcy.  He  was  also  United  States  Commissioner  for  a  number  of 
years.  In  1871  he  removed  to  West  Newton,  Massachusetts,  and  opened  an 
ofilce  in  Femberton  Square,  Boston,  and  later  in  Milk  St.  He  resided  in  West 
Newton  twenty-two  years,  and  was  solicitor  for  the  city  of  Newton  from  1876 
to  1881.      He  practised  law  in  Boston  until  1892,  when  he  gave  up  active  work. 

He  was  for  more  than  twenty  years  an  active  and  useful  member  of  this  So- 
ciety. He  served  on  important  committees,  and  contributed  in  various  ways  to 
its  prosperity.  He  was  greatly  interested  in  compiling  the  genealogy  of  the 
Thacher  family.  He  caused  extensive  researches  to  be  made  in  England  and 
published  a  valuable  paper  on  the  family  history  in  the  old  country  from  which 
some  part  of  this  sketch  has  been  drawn. 

He  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Overseers  of  Bowdoin 
College.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Maine  Historical  Society.  He  always 
took  a  lively  interest  in  reforms,  and  was  an  abolitionist  from  his  early  youth; 
he  was  an  active  member  of  the  old  Whig  party,  joined  the  Free  Soilers  and 
then  the  Republicans,  and  ever  after  was  an  Independent  in  politics. 
J  In  1841  he  married  Margaret  Louisa,  daughter  of  Judge  Barrett  Potter  of 
Portland,  Maine.    His  widow  survives  him  with  four  sons  and  five  daughters. 

Hon.  Charles  Candee  Baldwin,  A.M.,  LL.B.,  LL.D.,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio» 
was  elected  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society  November  3,  1869.  He 
was  bom  in  Middletown,  Connecticut,  December  2,  1834,  and  died  in  Cleveland, 
February  3,  1895. 

He  was  of  the  seventh  generation  from  Sylvester  Baldwin,  who  came  from 
the  parish  of  Acton-Clinton  in  Buckinghamshire,  England,  in  1638.  He  died 
at  sea  on  the  passage  from  England.  His  son  Richard,  born  in  Acton-Clinton, 
and  baptized  there,  August  25,  1622,  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Milford, 
Connecticut.  Barnabas  the  son  of  Richard  was  born  in  1665.  His  son  Sylva- 
nns  was  bom  in  1706.  Charles  of  the  next  generation  was  bom  In  Milford, 
Connecticut,  1751.  Seymour  Wesley,  son  of  Charles,  was  bom  in  Meriden, 
Connecticut,  June  29,  1807.  He  was  a  successful  merchant  in  Middletown,  but 
removed  to  Ohio  in  1886. 

His  son,  Charles  Candee,  was  prepared  for  College  in  Middletown,  under 
David  :H.  Chase,  LL.D.,  and  was  graduated  from  Wesleyan  University  in 
1865,  and  from  Harvard  Law  School  in  1857.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  the 
same  year  and  began  the  practice  of  the  law  in  Cleveland,  Ohio.  His  success 
in  his  profession  was  rapid  and  signal.  He  gave  his  attention  chiefly  to  corpo- 
ration and  banking  law,  and  in  these  departments  he  was  an  authority.  In  1870 
he  was  obliged  to  give  up  for  a  time  his  professional  work  on  account  of  the 
failure  of  his  health,  and  at  this  time  he  traveled  extensively  in  Europe. 

He  was  elected  Judge  of  the  Circuit  Court  of  Ohio  for  three  successive  terms, 
and  died  in  the  midst  of  his  usefulness  during  his  third  term.  There  was  not 
much  time  at  his  command  for  studies  outside  his  profession,  but  he  was 
especially  interested  in  historical  studies.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Western  Reserve  Historical  Society,  and  was  one  of  its  officers.  He  was  for 
many  years  a  director  in  the  Cleveland  Library  Association,  and  was  a  trustee 
and  lecturer  in  Baldwin  University.  He  made  some  valuable  contributions  to 
historical  publications  relating  to  the  Western  Reserve. 

He  married  September  8,  1862,  Carolina,  daughter  of  Charles  W.  Premiss  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  granddaughter  of  the  distinguished  Senator,  Samuel  Pren- 
tiss of  Vermont.    His  wife  and  two  children  survive  him.

that  Dr.  Stubbs,  the  historian,  was  no  longer  among  the  living.  This  is  an  error.

The  Rev.  Guindall  Reynolds,  A.M.,  D.D.,  a  resident  member,  elected 
Oct.  6,  1876,  was  born  in  Franconia,  N.  H.,  Dec.  22,  1822,  and  died  in  Concord, 
Mass.,  Sept.  30,  1804.  He  was  tiie  second  child  of  his  parents,  Grindall  and 
Cynthia  Reynolds.  His  mother's  family  name  was  Kendall.  His  father  was  a 
soldier  of  the  revolution,  in  turn  private,  ensign,  lieutenant  and    captain.

When  his  son  was  bom  he  was  manager  of  some  large  iron  works.  The  child 
learned  his  letters  at  his  mother's  knee.  There  alio  he  learned  to  read  the 
Bible.  At  the  early  age  of  four  he  was  sent  to  the  district  school,  in  a  mdely 
constmcted  school  house,  with  its  desks  primitive  and  hacked,  its  seats  hard, 
the  discipline  harsh.  When  he  was  five  his  family  took  him  with  them  to 
Boston,  and  he  lived  there  successively  on  Essex  street  and  at  Fort  Hill.  He 
attended  a  primary  school  on  the  comer  of  Federal  and  High  streets  nntil  he 
was  seven.  Promoted  then  to  the  Washington  grammar  school  he  graduated 
there  at  twelve  with  the  Franklin  medal.  Next  he  went  to  the  English  High 
School,  where  for  a  lai^e  portion  of  his  three  years*  course  he  was  under  the 
tuition  of  the  well-known  Thomas  Sherwin.  His  graduation  there  was  at  the 
age  of  fifteen  years  and  six  months ;  again  with  a  Franklin  medal.  For  the 
four  years  and  a  half  ensuing  he  was  with  the  dry  goods  merchants,  Thomas 
Tarbell  &  Co.,  passing  from  errand  boy  to  bookkeeper  in  their  employ.  In 
1843  he  left  business  to  study  a  year  and  a  half  with  the  Rev.  Chandler  Robbins 
in  preparation  for  the  Cambridge  Divinity  School,  which  he  entered  in  1844, 
and  from  which  he  graduated  in  1847.  He  was  ordained  the  next  year,  and 
became  the  pastor  of  the  Unitarian  Church  at  Jamaica  Plain,  remaining  there  a 
little  more  than  ten  years.  At  that  time  he  accepted  a  call  to  the  First  Parish 
at  Concord,  Mass.,  and  labored  there  for  twenty-three  years  as  the  active  pastor, 
afterwards  being  pastor  emeritus  until  his  death.  In  1881  he  was  chosen  the 
Secretary  of  the  American  Unitarian  Association,  and  held  that  office  as  long  as 
he  lived.     Harvard  University  gave  him  the  degree  of  D.D.  in  1894. 

As  an  author  he  produced  for  denominational  magazines  eight  or  ten  articles; 
for  the  Atlantic  Monthly  about  the  same  number ;  and  as  many  pamphlets  bore 
his  name.  His  discourses  impressed  one  with  his  *'  vigor  and  spiritual  mus- 
cularity." What  he  wrote  for  the  press  showed  "  conscientious  thoroughness 
and  structural  strength."  *'  He  was  a  severe  censor  of  his  own  literary  work, 
revising  and  rewriting  till  his  page  leflected  the  exact  measure  and  shading  of 
his  thought.**  Even  his  extemporaneous  utterances  had  much  of  the  solidity 
and  careful  accuracy  of  his  written  words;  '*  and  there  were  occasions  when 
he  was  roused  to  remarkable  power,  and  his  statement  came  swift,  strong, 
square,  unanswerable,  settling  the  matter  in  debate  beyond  dispute." 

A  memorial  sermon  by  the  Rev.  Henry  H.  Barber  of  Meadville,  Penn.,  pays 
him  high  honor  as  an  intellectual  force,  as  a  strong  influence  in  the  denomina- 
tion to  which  he  belonged,  as  a  magnanimous  and  sympathetic  pastor  and 
townsman,  and  as  a  **  friend  of  Concord's  famous  people  and  of  her  common 
folk  alike."  Judge  E.  R.  Hoar,  who  drew  the  resolutions  passed  by  the  Con- 
cord Parish  on  the  occasion  of  his  death,  said  of  him :  *'  No  call  to  larger  duties 
or  a  more  conspicuous  position  has  ever  changed  his  relation  to  this  Parish  or 
this  town.  He  has  lived  and  died  our  minister,  and  he  loved  us  and  we  loved 
him  to  the  end." 

These  sentences  from  a  paper  written  by  one  of  the  Second  Congregational 
Parish,  formerly  a  deacon  of  the  church  connected  with  it,  and  read  before  a 
social  club  in  Concord,  give  a  local  estimate  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch : 

**  A  man  of  noble  presence,  cordial  and  hearty  in  his  manners,  kindly  always, 
he  would  suffer  a  wrong — never  do  one.  He  was  a  wise  counsellor,  a  sincere 
and  steadfast  friend.  *  *  *  His  genuine  sympathy  was  manifest  in  his 
acquaintance  with  the  personal  history  of  the  boys  in  blue  of  the  Concord 
quota — their  experiences  and  needs.  When  the  bullet  or  disease  brought  sorrow 
to  our  homes  and  hearts,  his  great  heart  was  poured  out  in  sympathy  and  con- 
solation. No  soldier's  obsequies  lacked  his  timely  and  grateful  word.  •  »  » 
He  was  the  best  man  of  his  time  on  the  (School)  Committee,  and  his  interest 
in  the  schools  did  not  cease  with  his  retirement.  •  ♦  •  He  was  an  enthusiastic 
biographer.  The  Social  Circle  in  Concord  owes  him  a  deep  debt  of  gratitude  for 
the  untiring  zeal  with  which  he  sought  out  the  facts  and  prepared  the  biographies 
of  many  of  its  deceased  members.  This  society  dates  back  to  1782,  and  was  the 
peace  product  of  the  '  Committee  of  Safety  '  of  the  Revolution,  organized  *  to 
strengthen  the  social  affections,  and  disseminate  useful  communications  among 
its  members.*  ♦  ♦  ♦  He  was  broad  and  liberal.  •  •  ♦  When  told  on  his 
way  to  attend  the  funeral  of  an  estimable  lady  that  she  had  recently  embraced 
some  peculiar  views,  his  reply  was :  *  Her  views  do  not  make  the  slightest 
difference.'  •  ♦  •  In  his  former  field  of  labor  it  was  not  customary  to 
make  remarks  at  funerals,  but  coming  to  this  town,  where  the  old  custom  still

obtains,  he  at  once  conformed  with  the  usage,  and  so  wise  and  comforting  and 
Jnst  were  his  words  that  he  was  sought  to  officiate  by  many  oatside  his  own 
charge.  There  are  many  living  today  who  had  hoped  Mr.  Reynolds  would  sur- 
vive them  and  attend  their  funeral.  ♦  •  •  He  was  a  man  of  pure  and  lofty 
aims,  of  sincere  and  sympathetic  friendship,  of  broad  charity,  of  unswerving 
fidelity  to  truth  and  right  and  justice,  fearless  and  modest,  a  Christian  gentle- 
man."

Henry  Colman  Kimball,  A.  B.,  elected  a  resident  member  July  6,  1864,  and 
a  life  member  in  1881,  was  bom  in  Hingham,  Mass.,  February  20, 1820,  and  died 
May  10,  1894.  His  grandfather  was  Daniel  Kimball,  flr?)t  lieutenant  of  Captain 
Foster's  company  of  Colonel  Wales's  regiment  of  the  war  of  the  Revolution. 
Benjamin  Gage,  major  of  Colonel  Gerrith's  resrlment,  of  the  same  war,  was  his 
gr-at-grand father.  His  mother's  name  was  Betsey  Gage,  who  was  a  daughter 
of  Benjamin.  The  Rev.  Daniel  Kimball,  principal  of  Derby  Academy  in  Hing- 
ham, was  his  father.  The  son  fitted  for  college  at  the  Home  School  which  his 
father  established  in  Needham  in  the  son's  boyhood.  He  was  graduated  with 
the  Harvard  class  of  1840.  For  some  years  afterwards  he  was  the  principal  of 
Westford  Academy,  spending  a  year  in  foreign  travel  at  the  conclusion  of  this 
prlncipalship.  In  1848  he  took  charge  of  the  Lancaster  Academy,  remaining 
several  years,  and,  while  there,  marrying  Miss  Harriet  C.  Fisher  of  that  town. 
In  connection  with  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion  he  was  appointed  to  a  position 
in  the  Internal  Revenue  Department,  finally  taking  up  his  residence  In  Stough- 
ton,  where  he  passed  the  remaining  thirty  years  of  his  life.  There  he  was  a 
member  of  the  school  committee,  superintendent  of  schools,  trustee  of  the  pub- 
lic library,  and  town  clerk.  To  the  last  place  he  was  elected  the  twentieth  time 
just  before  he  died.  Mr.  Kimball  belonged  to  **  The  Massachusetts  Society  of 
the  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution."  He  was  a  man  of  simple  tastes,  of  great 
dignity  and  strict  Integrity,  and  yet  almost  womanly  In  sweetness  of  temper  and 
patience.  He  was  drowned  at  sea,  on  his  way  to  Philadelphia,  ofi"  Block  Island, 
probably  falling  overboard.

Matthkw  Adams  Stickney,  made  a  corresponding  member  May  17,  1847, 
was  born  In  Rowley,  Mass.,  September  23,  1805,  and  died  In  Salem,  August  12, 
1894. 

He  was  of  the  seventh  generation  from  William  Stlckney  and  his  wife,  Eliza- 
beth, who  came  to  Boston  probably  In  1637,  and  were  of  the  original  settlers  In 
Rowley,  where  a  grant  of  land  In  the  first  apportionment  was  made  to  Wil- 
liam Stlckney  In  1643.  Matthew  traced  his  descent  from  William  through 
Amos,*  Benjamin,^  Samuel,*  Jededlah,*  and  Dudley*.  His  mother  was  Eliza- 
beth, daughter  of  Charles  and  Elizabeth  (Fowler)  Davis  of  Topsfield.  He  was 
twice  married;  first,  on  the  17th  of  April,  1833,  to  Mary  Elizabeth  Smith,  who 
died  May  9,  1834,  and  second,  Dec.  26,  1838,  to  Lucy  Waters,  who  died  Feb.  13, 
1847.     Three  daughters  by  his  second  wife  survived  him. 

On  what  seemed  to  him  satisfactory  ground  for  a  solid  inference,  he  believed 
Stlckney,  a  village  In  Lincolnshire,  nine  miles  north  of  Boston,  to  have  been 
the  English  home  of  the  family  at  some  time,  and  that  they  probably  came  from 
Normandy  In  the  train  of  the  Norman  conqueror. 

In  1869  he  published  a  volume  of  526  octavo  pages :  The  Stickney  Family ^ 
containing  the  genealogy  and  history  of  the  family;  In  1883,  a  volume  of  247 
octavo  pages,  entitled  The  Fowler  Family  [that  of  his  mother]  :  "  A  Genealo- 
gical Memoir  of  the  Descendants  of  Philip  and  Mary  Fowler  of  Ipswich,  Mass. : 
Ten  Generations,  1590-1882."  Besides  these  he  left  In  manuscript  the  gene- 
alogies and  histories  of  the  families  of  Robert  Calef  (the  author  of  '•  More 
Wonders  of  the  Invlsil)lc  World")  and  of  William  Waters,  a  householder  of 
Boston  In  1652.  These  two  genealogies  would  make  a  work  of  over  six  hundred 
pages  in  print,  and  are  in  form  for  publication.  Robert  Calef  and  William 
Waters  were  ancestors  of  his  living  children. 

He  also  contributed  valuable  papers  to  the  Register,  the  American  Journal 
of  Numismatics,  and  the  Essex  Institute  Historical  Collections. 

Mr.  Stickney  was  more  than  a  genealogist,  he  was  emphatically  a  collector. 
At  ten  years  of  age  he  had  collected  nearly  two  thousand  birds'  eggs,  a  sign  of

the  coming  jnan.  Of  ancient  f ornitore,  wedding-rings,  family  records,  Indian 
relics  and  almanacs,  he  had  great  store.  His  almanacs,  commencing  with  1666, 
perhj^s  make  the  most  complete  collection  to  be  f  oond.  Antogn^hs  and  letters 
of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  of  Washington  and  his 
generals  (including  many  of  the  French  officers),  of  statesmen  and  men  of 
note  of  the  Bevolationary  period,  fill  a  long  and  orderly  array  of  Tolnmes  upon 
his  shelves.  As  a  collector  of  coins  and  a  namismatist  especially  he  was  most 
widely  lEnown,  having  begun  his  collection  at  an  early  age,  and  possessed  him- 
self in  the  course  of  his  long  life  of  a  very  great  number  of  coins,  including 
the  rarest  and  most  sought  after.  For  early  issues  of  American  paper  money 
he  was  also  a  keen  and  successful  forager. 

Mr.  Stickney  was  not  of  that  class  of  collectors  who  are  satisfied  with  mere 
accumulation.  He  was  an  intelligent  and  discriminating  authority  upon  the  re- 
lative merits  and  value  of  the  coins,  '* curios"  and  ancient  relics  which  he 
gathered.  He  was  acquainted  with  books ;  and  the  study  of  early  New  England 
history  was  his  solace  in  many  an  hour  of  suffering,  as  his  health,  never  firm, 
brought  to  him  in  the  latter  years  of  life  many  weary  hours,  which  at  once  ac^ 
counted  for  his  habits,  which  were  those  of  a  recluse,  and  afforded  him  such 
occupation  as  suited  his  condition,  and  protected  him  from  the  sense  of  vacancy 
and  uselessness  which  is  often  the  lot  of  the  invalid  solitary.  He  was  never  at 
a  loss  for  something  to  do. 

By  Bev.  E.  B.  Willson,  ofSdUm, 

Fbbdsrick  Dkank  Allxk,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  a  resident  member,  elected 
January  4,  1865,  died  upon  the  28th  day  of  September,  1894,  at  the  ripe  age  of 
eighty-six  years.  He  was  the  son  of  Deacon  Otis  Allen  and  his  wife  Susanna 
(Deane)  of  Mansfield,  Biass.  He  was  bom  on  the  eighth  of  July,  1808.  He 
was  the  seventh  of  a  line  of  pious  New  England  ancestry,  each  of  whom  had 
held  the  office  of  Deacon  in  a  Congregational  Church.  The  first  of  this  line 
was  Samuel  Allen,  who  lived  in  Braintree,  and  died  in  1669.  His  descendants 
in  direct  line  were  Samuel  (2d),  Josiah,  Micah,  Mlcah  (2d)  and  Otis,  the  father 
of  the  subject  of  Uiis  sketch. 

Frederick  Deane  Allen  was  but  seventeen  years  old  when  he  came  to  Boston 
from  Taunton,  where  he  had  lived  two  years.  He  entered  the  employ  of  Mr. 
Holbrook  on  Washington  street.  At  the  early  age  of  twenty-one  he  entered 
into  partnership  with  Mr.  William  Fowle,  under  the  style  of  Fowle  &  Allen,  and 
they  carried  on  a  wholesale  dry  goods  business  at  the  comer  of  Milk  and  KUby 
streets. 

In  1839  the  firm  was  dissolved  and  succeeded  by  Allen  &  Mlnot,  which  was 
again  followed  by  the  firm  of  Allen,  Whiting,  Lane  &  Washburn.  In  1865  the 
firm  became  Allen,  Lane  &  Co.,  whidi  was  replaced  in  January  1894,  by  the  cor- 
poration entitled  "  The  Allen  Lane  Company."  Mr.  Allen  was  in  active  business 
as  a  member  of  a  firm  for  sixty-five  years,  and  for  forty  years  of  tills  time  had 
Hon.  Jonathan  A.  Lane  as  his  partner. 

His  remarkable  vigor  and  activity  up  to  the  age  of  fourscore  and  six  years 
were  the  surprise  and  admiration  of  all  who  met  him  in  active  business. 

He  was  one  of  the  directors  of  the  National  Bank  of  the  Republic  at  its  for- 
mation and  remained  so  until  his  death.  He  served  the  Old  South  Church  for 
many  years  as  its  Deacon ;  was  all  his  life  interested  in  Sunday  School  work,  and 
for  seventy  years,  without  intermission,  acted  either  as  Sunday  School  teacher 
or  superintendent.  He  was  especially  kind  to  the  poor,  and  many  mourn  him 
as  their  most  faithful  friend  in  trouble.  It  is  significant  of  the  place  he  held  in 
the  business  community  that  twenty-one  leading  commission  honses  of  Boston 
closed  their  stores  during  the  hour  of  his  funeral  service. 

His  fellow  directors  in  the  Bank  of  the  Republic  paid  the  following  tribute  to 
his  memory : 

*'  His  associates  in  the  bank  for  many  years,  with  a  deep  sense  of  personal 
l>ereavement,  desire  to  place  on  the  records  of  this  l>ank  their  high  apprecia- 
tion of  his  character  as  manifested  in  all  the  relations  of  his  long  and  usefol 
life;  as  a  kind  and  sympathetic  friend;  a  father,  honored  and  revered  in  the 
family ;  an  exemplary  merchant,  *  diligent  in  business,'  and  of  the  higliest 
integrity  in  all  business  intercourse;  a  charitable  and  pnUio-spirited  citizen, 
giving  freely  of  his  time  and  means  for  the  f ortheranoe  of  every  good  work  In

JERstory  of  the  Tovon  of  Hampton^  Neva  Hampshirej  from  Us  SetUement  in  1638 
to  the  Autumn  of  1892.  By  Joseph  Dow.  Edited  and  Published  by  his 
Daughter.  Salem,  Mass. :  Frinted  by  the  Salem  Press  Publishing  and  Print- 
ing Co.  1893.  8vo.,  2  volumes,  pp.  11+1104  in  both  volumes.  Price  $6  for 
the  complete  work.    Sold  by  Miss  Lucy  E.  Dow,  Hampton,  K.  H. 

The  late  Joseph  'Dow,  A.M.,  of  Hampton,  who  died  Dec.  16,  1889,  aged  89, 
:oammenced  early  in  life  to  collect  facts  relating  to  the  history  of  his  native 
town.  As  far  back  as  1838  he  was  selected  to  deliver  an  historical  address  in 
•eooimemoration  of  the  two  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  settlement  of  Hamp- 
ton. This  address  was  printed  the  next  year.  It  showed  a  remarkable  knowl- 
edge of  the  history  of  New  England,  and  paiticularly  of  his  section  of  it. 
It,  at  onee,  became  a  standard  work  in  local  history.  He  lived  half  a  century 
after  that  work  was  published,  and  during  that  time  was  indefatigable  In  col- 
lecting and  arranging  the  history  of  Hampton.  At  his  death  he  left  the  work 
]«actically  finished.  If  the  town  of  Hampton  had  extended  to  him  the  aid 
wldch  his  friends  asked  for,  the  book  would  have  been  printed  during  his  life- 
time, and  under  his  own  supervision. 

Mr.  Dow  was  fortunate  in  having  a  daughter  who  shared  his  tastes.  She  has 
edited  the  work,  and  successfully  carried  the  book  through  the  press.  Miss 
Lucy  E.  Dow  says  in  her  preface :  **  It  is  not  easy  for  one  person  to  enter  into 
another*s  labor  and  carry  out  his  plan,  even  though  the  material  be  ready  at 
hand ;"  and  she  adds  that  she  can  scarcely  hope  to  have  realized  her  father's 
ideal. 

The  History  of  Hampton  shows  a  vast  amount  of  labor,  and  both  father  and 
daughter  are  deserving  of  much  praise.  The  first  volume  is  devoted  to  the  his- 
tory of  the  town,  and  the  second  volume  to  its  genealogy.  The  work  is  well 
printed,  and  is  embellished  with  numuerous  portraits,  views  of  buildings  and 
other  engravings.  A  good  index  is  furnished.  We  hope  that  the  work  will  be 
liberally  patronized,  and  that  it  will  be  found  in  all  our  best  public  libraries  and 
private  collections.

The  seventh  volume  of  Suffolk  Deeds  has  been  issued.  It  has  a  kindred  like- 
ness and  interest  with  those  which  have  preceded.  The  hopes  of  the  friends  of

Thomas  F.  Temple,  Bsq.,  Register  of  Deeds,  John  T.  Hassam,  Esq.,  and  Frank 
S.  Bradish,  Ssq.,  for  the  several  parts  they  have  rendered  in  making  public  in  a 
larger  sense  this  Tolume  so  full  of  value.  The  first  deed  recorded  in  this  vol- 
ume is  of  property  granted  by  Thomas  Joy  to  Bichard  Way,  18,  l"*  mo,  1667-8, 
and  thence  onward  to  October  15,  1678.  During  the  early  part  of  this  period, 
the  deeds  were  attested  by  Freegrace  Bendall,  Clerk  of  the  County  Court,  and 
the  latter  by  Isaac  Addington,  Becorder.  He  who  would  know  the  ordinary 
living  and  strivings  of  the  people  of  two  centuries  ago  cannot  afford  to  neglect 
to  study  the  early  deeds  of  the  New  England  colonies.  The  index,  like  the  pre- 
decessors, is  superb.  He  who  runs  may  read.  The  glance  is  only  needed  by 
the  busy  barrister  to  know  the  present  value  of  a  deed.  Suffolk  County,  nobly 
followed  by  York  County,  is  setting  a  magnificent  example  for  other  counties 
in  the  Commonwealth  and  nation.

Mr.  Browning  of  Ardmore,  Pennsylvania,  has  issued  a  third  edition  of  his 
** Americans  of  Boyal  Descent."  His  first  edition  a  dozen  years  ago  met  with  a 
rapid  sale,  and  new  demands  have  called  not  only  for  more  editions,  but  for  an 
extended  Bulletin,  in  which  are  many  important  corections  and  additions.  In  fact 
the  Balletln  is  rich  in  worth,  since  it  places  many  a  family  on  the  right,  after 
wandering  for  a  season  on  the  wrong  track.  These  notes  become  as  posts  of 
warning.  Many  of  the  pedigrees  which  foreign  barristers  have  compiled  of 
American  families,  in  hope  of  gain,  have  proved  untrustworthy  by  painstaking 
genealogists.  Among  the  families  whose  royal  descent  has  been  decidely  dis- 
proved is  the  Adams  family.  We  have  several  times  shown  the  error  of  this 
pedigree,  which  was  contributed  in  good  faith  to  the  Hboistbr  for  January  1868, 
pp.  39-46,  by  the  late  William  Downing  Bruce,  F.S.  A.  of  London.  Mr.  Browning 
in  good  spirit  also  joins  in  exposing  the  forgery.  This  is  only  a  single  case. 
He  who  consults  Mr.  Browning's  book  must  put  generous  study  upon  the  Bul- 
letin— the  last  and  best  revision  of  his  earlier  labors.  An  excellent  index  of  the 
body  part  of  the  book  and  of  the  Bulletin  rounds  out  a  volume  full  of  gene- 
alogical information.

Glimpses  of  Old  New  England  Life.  Legends  of  Old  Bedford.  By  Abram  Enolish 
Brown,  author  of  History  of  First  Sabbath  School  of  Bedford,  History  of 
Bedford,  and  Bedford  Old  Families.  Published  by  the  author.  Boston: 
R.  H.  Blodgett,  printer.    Sold  by  Abraham  E.  Brown,  Bedford,  Mass. 

This  book,  as  the  title  indicates,  is  a  collection  of  tales  of  New  England 
life.  The  story  entitled  **  The  Witch  of  Shawshine  "  is  perhaps  the  most  inter- 
esting. But,  while  it  is  fitting  that  our  generation  should  be  so  prolific  in  pro- 
ducing books  relating  to  New  England  life  and  history,  it  does  seem  as  if 
some  of  our  writers  would  be  better  occupied  if  they  dwelt  more  upon  the 
pleasanter  and  brighter  aspects  of  colonial  life.  Our  forefathers  may  have  had 
some  of  the  faults  and  failings  pertaining  to  the  age  in  which  they  lived,  but 
(as  history  conclusively  shows)  not  in  so  large  a  measure  as  their  contempo- 
raries in  other  lands.  What  an  exhaustless  mine  of  history  and  romance  do  the 
annals  of  New  England  offer  to  the  prose  writer  and  the  poet.  What  hitherto 
almost  unexplored  fields  lie  open  on  every  side.  Our  great  epic  peom  and  our 
great  historical  novel  has  yet  to  be  written.  And  then  it  is  of  great  im- 
portance in  the  development  of  our  country,  in  the  combining  and  harmonizing 
of  the  various  elements  that  go  to  the  making  of  it  and  the  different  Interests 
involved  therein,  that  the  New  England  idea,  the  New  England  spirit  (the  logi- 
cal outgrowth  of  the  spirit  of  Old  England)  be  thoroughly  taught  and  understood, 
so  that  it  may  continue  to  be  the  moulding  and  shaping  force  in  the  future  that 
it  has  been  in  the  past.  The  New  England  ideal  has  ever  been  marked  by  a  firm 
adherence  to  truth  and  duty,  by  a  splendid  faith  and  trust  in  Qod.  And  men 
and  women  of  New  England  descent  have  largely  assisted  in  opening  up  and 
making  fruitful  different  sections  of  our  country,  have  assisted  in  developing

in  a  large  way  and  on  a  grand  scale  the  tbonght  and  action  of  onr  people, 
and  have  ever  carried  with  them  the  good  old  English  principles  of  steadfast- 
ness and  tenacity  which  hare  made  onr  race  the  dominant  one  wherever  it  has 
planted  itself.  No  race  of  modem  times  has  had  and  exercised  snch  a  genins 
for  govemment,  for  implanting  and  nartnring  principles  of  liberty  (not  license) » 
for  contribnting  to  the  onwiutl  march  of  homan  progress.  And  it  may  be 
that  onr  Republic  with  its  written  constitution  will  &  a  sorer  anchorage,  a 
more  lasting  home  than  even  Old  England  for  the  principles  of  tme  liberty, 
for  all  that  stands  for  English  thought  and  life,  for  all  onr  grand  heritage  from 
the  mother-land;  a  heritage  forever  assured  as  long  as  lUl  English-speaking

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  town  of  Concord,  March  30,  1891,  a  committee 
was  appointed  consisting  of  five  members,  of  which  the  late  Rev.  Grindall  Rey- 
nolds, D.D.,  was  chairman,  to  "  procure  the  printing  of  the  town's  ancient 
registers  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths."  The  committee  have  performed 
their  duties  in  a  very  satisfactory  manner,  and  the  noble  volume  before  us  is 
the  result  of  their  lidbors.  Concord  was  settled  in  1685,  and  only  a  few  towns 
in  New  England  go  baclc  to  an  earlier  date.  The  committee  in  their  preface 
say :  '*  It  has  been  termed  with  tmth  one  of  the  '  seed  towns.'  The  descend- 
ants of  the  original  settlers  are  scattered  far  and  wide  over  the  whole  country. 
It  is  probable  that  the  number  of  such  descendants  living  outside  of  the  town 
far  exceeds  the  number  of  those  living  in  it  at  the  present  time."  The  preface 
says  also:  '*  All  the  members  of  the  committee  appointed  by  the  town  have 
given  much  interest  and  a  good  deal  of  general  supervision  to  the  work ;  but  it 
is  simple  justice  to  say  that  the  great  burden  of  investigation  and  labor  has 
fallen  upon  Mr.  George  Tolman,  one  of  the  committee.  He  has  given  unremit- 
ting care  and  a  very  large  portion  of  his  time  to  the  preparation  of  the  book. 
He  has  sought  in  every  direction  for  information  which  might  cast  side  light 
upon  the  Town  Records  themselves.  If  the  book  shall  prove  to  have  the  merits 
that  such  a  book  ought  to  have,  a  full  measure  of  credit  should  be  given  to  Mr. 
Tolman." 

The  volume  before  us  is  a  model  for  those  who  have  the  charge  of  printing 
the  records  of  a  town.  We  commend  the  indexes  particularly  to  their  atten- 
tion. By  indicating  whether  the  record  indexed  is  of  a  birth,  marriage,  death, 
or  other  item,  much  time  is  saved  to  the  reader.

The  State  of  Connecticut  has  previously  published  the  Records  of  the  Colony 
in  fifteen  volumes,  from  1636  to  1776,  and  the  Records  of  the  Jurisdiction 
of  New  Haven  in  two  volumes,  from  1638  to  its  union  with  Connecticut  in 
1666.  Of  these  volumes,  volumes  1,  2  and  3  of  the  Records  of  the  Colony  of 
Connecticut  were  edited  by  Dr.  J.  Hammond  Trumbull.  The  other  fourteen 
volumes  have  been  edited  by  the  present  editor,  Dr.  Hoadly,  whose  work  on 
these  volumes  extends  through  a  third  of  a  century.  They  are  a  monument  to 
his  literary  and  antiquarian  attainments. 

Having  completed  the  editing  and  publishing  of  the  Records  of  the  Colony, 
he  has  taken  up  the  Records  of  the  State,  and  the  first  volume  is  before  us. 
The  resolution  of  the  General  Assembly  of  Connecticut,  under  which  this  vol- 
ume is  issued,  was  adopted  upon  the  motion  of  the  Connecticut  Society  of  Sons 
of  the  Revolution,  and  approved  February  25,  1893.  The  work  has  been  edited 
in  the  same  thorough  manner  as  the  volumes  previously  issued. 

This  volume  "contains,"  says  Dr.  Hoadly  in  his  paper,  *^  about  one  half  of 
the  first  manuscript  volume  of  the  *  Records  of  the  State  of  Connecticut,'  and

280  Book  JToticea.  [Aprfl, 

The  author  has  spent  a  great  amonDt  of  research  on  the  snbject  of  this  book, 
and  has  succeeded  in  throwing  light  on  many  points  where  till  now  there  was 
obscnrity.  The  volume  wiU  be  fonnd  interesting  reading  as  well  as  indispensa- 
ble for  reference.  Fifty  pages  are  devoted  to  a  Calendar  giving  in  tabular  form 
the  year,  month,  and  day,  when  Fast  and  Thanksgiving  were  observed  in  New 
England,  from  1620  to  1815,  with  the  state,  executive  authority  and  some  other 
details.  A  Bibliography  of  84  pages  is  also  given.  Facsimiles  of  several  early 
Proclamations  are  found  here.    The  book  is  well  indexed.

The  volume  before  us  contains  nearly  two  hundred  biographies  of  Represent- 
ative Men  of  the  State  of  Connecticut,  most  of  which  are  iUustrated  vrith  por- 
traits of  a  high  order  of  merit.  It  is  a  valuable  addition  to  American  biogra- 
phy and  will  be  found  useful  to  many  classes  of  readers,  and  should  be  in  all 
our  large  public  libraries,  particularly  as  a  reference  book.  Those  who  use 
these  libraries  ofien  vrlsh  to  obtain  reliable  information  about  those  who  have 
been  active  in  the  afflairs  of  the  State  of  Connecticut  for  the  last  third  of  a  cen- 
tury.   Mr.  Moore,  the  projector  and  editor  of  the  work,  deserves  much  credit. 

The  book  is  handsomely  printed  on  fine  paper,  and  the  portraits  are  of  a  high 
order.    It  has  an  index. 

The  Southern  Historical  Society  Papers.  Vol.  XXII.  Edited  by  R.  A.  Brock, 
Secretary  of  the  Southern  Historical  Society.  Richmond,  Va. :  Published  by 
the  Society,    1894.    8vo. 

The  publications  of  the  Southern  Historical  Society,  of  which  the  twenty-second 
volume  is  before  us,  have  been  frequently  commended  in  the  Rroistbr.  The 
editor,  Mr.  Brock,  has  rare  qualiflcations  for  the  office  of  Secretary  of  the  Society 
and  for  editing  the  volumes  which  it  issues.  His  ability,  industry  and  care 
admirably  fit  him  for  these  positions.  His  work  as  editor  of  this  series  of  volumes, 
which  he  has  held  for  a  number  of  years,  and  as  editor  of  the  Collections  of  the 
Virginia  Historical  Society,  from  1888  to  1892,  during  which  time  eleven  vol- 
umes were  issued  filled  with  valuable  historical  matter  relating  to  Virginia, 
entitle  him  to  rank  as  a  benefactor  of  his  native  State. 

The  present  volume  deserves  the  same  high  praise  which  has  been  awarded  to 
previous  volumes. 

Meraldry  in  America.  By  Eugene  Zieber.  Published  by  the  Department  of 
Heraldry  of  the  Bailey,  Banks  &  Biddle  Company.  Philadelphia.  1895. 
Royal  8vo.  pp.  427.  Price,  in  red  cloth,  #10;  handsomely  bound  in  full  red 
turkey  morocco,  gilt  edges,  $15. 

This  book,  which  appears  at  a  time  when  Heraldry  is  receiving  more  attention 
in  this  country  than  formerly,  contains  a  great  amount  of  information  on 
Heraldry  and  kindred  subjects.  Mr.  Zieber  says  in  his  Preface :  *'  The  book  is 
designed  to  meet  a  felt  want  in  America  for  a  popular  work  on  heraldry.  The 
writer  has  endeavored  to  group  in  a  concise  and  intelligent  manner  all  that  is 
necessary  to  enable  the  student  correctly  to  interpret  and  apply  the  manifold 
laws  of  the  gentle  science  of  Arms.  In  this  respect  the  book  is  largely  a  compil- 
ation, as  are  all  modern  works  upon  the  subject.  It  contains,  in  addition,  a  col- 
lection of  material— gathered  from  use  of  royal  and  other  seals  upon  Colonial 
documents,  and  individuid  armor  upon  old  tombstones,  hatchments,  tablets, 
family  plate,  wills,  deeds,  etc. — showing  an  early  practice  and  wide  recognition 
of  heraldry  in  America."  It  is  well  to  state  that  in  colonial  times  as  well  as  in 
our  own,  individuals  frequently  used  arms  to  which  they  had  no  right. 

The  book  does  credit  to  the  author,  who  evidently  has  bestowed  much  labor 
upon  it.  It  is  embellished  with  numerous  engravings  which  illustrate  the  vari- 
ous subjects  treated  of.    It  is  printed  in  the  best  manner,  and  is  well  indexed. 

Becollections  of  Life  in  Ohio  from  1813-1840.  By  William  Cooper  Ho  wells.

Robert  Clarke  Company.    8vo.  pp.  xiv.-h207.    Price,  #2. 

Mr.  William  Dean  Howells,  the  well  known  author,  says  in  his  Introduction 
to  this  book:  **  It  was  at  my  suggestion  that  my  father  began,  ten  or  twelve 
yearn  ago,  to  set  down  the  facts  of  his  esrij  life.    At  first  the  record  was  meant

for  the  family  only,  but  when  I  came  to  read  it  over,  I  f onnd  it  so  full  of  experi- 
ences and  observations  of  general  interest  that  I  nrged  him  to  continue  it,  with 
a  view  to  final  publication  and  yet  keep  it  as  simple  and  informal  as  he  had 
originally  intended."  Mr.  Howells  died  Angust  28,  1894,  at  the  age  of  87,  before 
his  work  was  finished.  After  his  death,  his  son  wrote  a  conclusion  and  prepared 
the  work  for  the  press.  The  book  wiU  interest  those  who  desire  to  know  what 
sort  of  life  was  led  in  Ohio  at  that  time.  **  A  middle-class  English  family 
coming  to  Ohio  early  in  the  century,**  says  the  editor,  *'  could  see  the  primitlTe 
American  life  more  or  less  from  the  outside."

Chronological  Record  of  the  English  Manns.  By  J.  B.  Mann.  Rochester,  N.  Y. : 
E.  R.  Andrews's  Book  and  Job  Printing  House.    1874. 

Though  these  books  were  printed  about  twenty  years  ago,  it  seems  proper  to 
notice  them  in  the  Rkgistkr.  The  Ludlam  pamphlet  gives  the  descendants  of 
Anthony  Ludlam,  an  early  emigrant  from  England,  who  settled  at  Southampton, 
L.  I.,  as  early  as  1640.    His  son  Joseph  removed  to  Cape  May  county. 

The  Mann  book  is  by  Rev.  Joseph  B.  Mann,  who  died  at  New  Woodistock,  N.T., 
June  1877,  aged  28.  Mr.  George  S.  Mann,  in  his  **  Mann  Memorial,"  calls  it  **  A 
work  quite  readable  and  credible  in  dealing  with  some  of  the  New  York 
branches."  But  he  intimates  that  in  relation  to  other  branches  the  author  is 
frequently  in  error.

We  continue  in  this  nnmber  our  quarterly  notices  of  works  relating  to  gene- 
alogy which  have  been  recently  published  and  presented  to  this  society. 

Dr.  Standish's  work,  **  The  Standishes  of  America,"  supplies  a  want  long  felt. 
Capt.  Myles  Standish  is  a  prominent  figure  in  New  England  history,  but  very 
litUe  has  heretofore  been  printed  about  his  defi^cendants.  The  author  of  this 
book,  while  a  student  in  college,  began  to  collect  facts  about  his  ancestry  and 
kindred.  **  The  work,"  he  says,  **  proved  attractive  to  me,  and  has  occupied  a 
generous  share  of  my  leisure  time  for  the  last  twenty-one  years,"  Dr.  Standish 
has  been  very  successful  in  tracing  the  posterity  of  his  valorous  ancestor,  and  99 
pages  are  filled  with  the  record  of  those  who  are  known  to  be  his  descendants. 
He  has  appended  accounts  of  other  families  by  the  name  of  Standish  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  not  a  few  of  whom  are  supposed  to  be  descend- 
ants of  the  Mayfiower  Pilgrim.  The  book  is  elegantly  printed,  and  is  em- 
bellished with  portraits  and  views.    It  is  well  compiled,  and  has  good  indexes. 

The  book  on  the  Montague  family  of  Virginia  is  compiled  by  George  William 
Montague  of  Amherst,  Mass.,  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  the  b<K>k  on  the 
Montagues  published  in  1886,  and  noticed  by  us  January,  1887.  It  is  a  companion 
volume  to  that  work,  and  does  for  the  Virginia  Montagues  what  was  done  for 
those  of  New  England  birth  and  lineage.  It  is  well  printed,  and  is  embellished 
by  portraits  and  other  engaavings.    It  has  a  good  index. 

The  next  book,  on  Stephen  Lincoln  of  Oakham,  gives  his  descendants  and 
one  line  of  his  ancestors.  He  was  bom  at  Rehoboth,  Mass.,  Dec  8,  1751,  and 
was  descended  in  the  sixth  generation  from  Thomas  Lincoln,  an  early  settler  of 
HIngham,  Mass.  The  book  is  well  compiled  and  Indexed.  It  makes  a  handsome 
volume. 

The  book  on  the  descendants  of  James  and  William  Adams  contains  also 
sketches  of  the  families  of  Robert  Cochran  and  Joseph  Morrison  of  London- 
derry and  of  Deacon  Thomas  Cochran  of  New  Boston,  N.  H.  It  is  Hlustrated 
by  portraits,  and  a  map  of  a  portion  of  Rockingham  county.  It  wUl  be  found 
useful  to  those  whose  kindred  are  here  preserved. 

The  Davidson  Genealogical  Charts  consist  of  cards  numbered  by  letters, 
A,  D,  E,  G,  I.  They  give  descendants  of  William  and  Mary  Davidson,  who 
emigrated  from  the  North  of  Ireland  to  this  country  in  1728.  The  matter  is 
arranged  in  columns,  a  column  being  given  to  each  generation.  Card  A  was 
issued  in  1887.  The  work  has  been  discontinued  in  this  form,  but  the  author  is 
engaged  on  a  larger  work  of  which  the  plan  will  be  given  in  a  subsequent  issue. 

The  work  on  the  Hamlin  family  is  to  be  issued  in  numbers.  The  first  number 
contains  sketches  of  the  family  in  Europe,  and  begins  the  genealogy  of  James 
Hamblen  of  Barnstable,  Mass.,  1639.  It  promises  to  fill  a  long  felt  gap  in  New 
England  genealogy.    Subscriptions  received  by  the  author,  Audubon,  Iowa. 

The  Kelton  items  by  Dr.  Kelton  of  Montpelier,  Vt.,  is  devoted  to  descendants 
of  Thomas  Kelton,  who  resided  at  Boston  in  1661.  Some  of  his  descendants 
write  the  name  Kilton,  and  a  few  Carleton.  We  hope  the  author  will  compile  a 
full  genealogy  of  the  family. 

The  proceedings  at  the  gathering  of  the  Bailey-Bayley  Association,  to  which 
the  next  pamphlet  is  devoted,  were  quite  interesting.  We  trust  that  a  volume  of 
genealogy  will  be  the  result  of  these  meetings. 

Mehitable  Chandler  Coit,  from  whose  papers  the  genealogical  matter  In  this 
pamphlet  is  compiled,  wasr  a  granddaughter  of  William  and  Annis  (t.  e.r  Agnes) 
Chandler  of  Roxbury.  She  was  married  at  Woodstock  in  1695  to  John  Coit  of 
New  London.  The  pamphlet  was  issued  last  Christmas,  as  a  loving  tribute 
to  her  memory,  by  M.  P.  Glhnan  of  Norwich,  Ct.,  and  two  other  descendants 
from  her. 

The  next  pamphlet  is  by  William  Sumner  Appleton,  aod  consists  of  Additions 
and  Conections  to  his  *^  Record  of  the  Descendants  of  William  Sumner,"  pub-

There  have  been  two  snpplements  to  the  Geronld  Genealogy  by  Ber.  Samnel 
L.  Geronld,  then  of  Goibto¥m,  now  of  HoUis,  N.  H.,  the  first  in  1890  and  the 
pamphlet  before  ns  in  January  last.  This  work  was  printed  at  the  charge  of 
Henry  Gerould,  M.D.,  of  Cleyeland,  Ohio.

[Rev.  George  FrrzFEN  dU  Phipfen,  Rector  of  St.  BCaiy's  Church  at  Truro, 
will  proved  in  1651,  was  the  son  of  Robert  Fitzpen  of  Weymouth  in  Dorset- 
shire, who  married  Cecelie,  daughter  of  Thomas  Jordan,  18  September  1580, 
and  great  grandson  of  Henry  Fitzpen  and  Alice  Pierce  of  St.  Mary  Overy  in 
Devonshire.  His  brothers  were  Owen  and  David.  Owen  was  bom  at  Mel- 
comb  in  1582 ;  married  Annie  Coinie  8  July  1608.  (Weymouth  and  Melcomb, 
united  by  a  bridge,  were  under  one  government  or  mayoralty). 

Owen  Fhippen  was  a  great  traveller;  he  was  taken  by  the  Turks  in  1620,  and 
after  seven  years  bondage,  he,  with  ten  other  Christian  captives  under  his  lead- 
ership, overcame  sixty-five  Turks  in  their  own  ship,  which  he  took  to  Cartagene, 
sold  all  for  ;£^000,  returned  to  England  and  died  at  Lamorran,  17  March  1636. 

A  tablet  was  erected  to  his  memory  in  St.  Mary's  Church  at  Truro.  See 
Hutchins*s  History  Cornwall,  Vol  2 ;  648. 

David  Phippen,  from  whom  the  writer  of  these  notes  is  descended,  came  to 
New  England  and  was  one  of  thirty  persons  who  began  the  settlement  of  ffing- 
hun,  September  18,  1635,  where  sundry  lots  of  land  were  granted  him.  He 
removed  to  Boston  in  1641,  and  died  there  about  1650.  His  son,  Joseph  Phip- 
pen, removed  from  Boston  to  Falmouth,  Casco  Bay  (Portland)  about  1650, 
thence  to  Salem  in  1665.  Joseph's  son  David,  having  Uu^  landed  possessions

The  Rev.  George  Phippen  was  persecuted  for  his  Faritanic  tendencies  and  his 
adherance  to  Parliament,  being  driven  from  his  charge  of  26  years  doration  over 
St.  Bfary's  Chnrch  at  Truro,  and  that  of  Lamorran,  a  village  a  few  miles  dis- 
tant. How  long  he  was  imprisoned  we  know  not.  In  his  will  he  complains 
bitterly,  though  forgivingly,  of  his  persecutor,  who  was  of  his  own  connec- 
tions, as  may  be  seen  in  the  record  of  the  family  of  Anthony  Pie  of  St.  Stephen, 
who  married  Constance  Pound.  This  family  was  of  good  social  position,  and 
was  probably  divided  by  the  bitter  party  feeling  of  those  troublous  times.

William  Catcher  married  ICargaret  Pie ;  these  were  the  parents  of  John  Catcher 
who  "  pretended"  against  Mr.  Phippen,  notwithstanding  he  had  been  guardian 
over  his  youth. 
Henry  Burgess  married  Jane  Pye. 
Thomas  Burgess  married  Elizabeth  Pye. 

A  son,  Anthony  Pye,  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Bobt.  Trethewey. 
George  Phippen  married  Ist,  Joan  Pie ;  2d,  Mrs.  Mary  Penros,  June  20,  1648, 
who  survived  him. 

Gilbert*s  His.  Cornwall  says,  that  the  Pyes  with  the  Spreys 
during  the  interregnum  of  Cromwell  turned  decimators  and 
sequestrators  upon  the  lands  and  revenues  of  the  royal  laity 
and  clergy  of  Cornwall  to  that  degree  of  hurt  and  damage 
that  occasioned  the  making  of  that  short  litany,  **From  the 
Pyes  and  Spreys,  Good  Lord  deliver  us.** 

Joseph  Phippen  above  mentioned,  with  a  forethought  not 
common  with  pioneers,  prepared  a  Genealogical  Chart  of  his 
own  and  collateral  families  left  in  the  old  country,  embla- 
zoned with   coat-armor,  etc.,  to  which  were  added  later 
Tn  iBvriiH  pwff^fc     generations  of  the  new. 

This  chart  suffered  the  loss  of  some  of  its  tablets  during  the  disturbances  of 
the  Revolution ;  the  remnants  of  which  were  published  in  the  4th  volume  of  the 
Heraldic  Journal. 

The  wills  under  consideration,  obtained  through  the  researches  of  Mr.  H.  7. 
Waters,  have  dropped  the  enquirer  as  it  were,  into  the  midst  of  these  very 
families,  and  at  times  not  remote  from  the  period  when  the  English  part  of  that 
chart  was  prepared.  Possibly  the  compiler  was  assisted  in  that  portion  of  the 
collection  by  his  uncle,  George  Phippen  of  Truro.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  so  much 
has  already  been  brought  to  light  and  corroborated  regarding  these  English 
families,  that  we  now  place  entire  confidence  in  the  ancient  record,  coat-armor 
and  all.— George  D.  Phippen.]

[In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  I  have  note  of  a  gprant  of  probate  of  the  will 
of  Thomas  Gould,  Senr.  of  Bovlngdon,  made  27  January  1687 ;  but  the  will 
itself  I  have  not  seen.  The  grant  Is  entered  In  Act  Book  Ko.  5,  fol.  27,  of 
Aichd.  of  Huntingdon  (Hunts  and  Herts  Wills  Ac.)  Hltchln  Registry.  In 
these  Act  Books  I  have  found  many  scattered  entries  of  Marriage  Licenses 
in  which  I  saw  a  number  of  names  that  would  appear  familiar  to  New  England 
genealogists.    One  of  them,  relating  to  this  Gould  family,  I  have  extracted.

I  do  not  now  remember  If  I  looked  especially  for  Gould  while  searching 
Trlng  registers.  I  was  somewhat  hurried.  I  found  the  burial  of  one  Annls 
Home  there,  7  June,  1598,  and  such  names  as  Putnam,  Weston,  Hitchcock,  Gates, 
Edmonds,  Emerton,  Trott,  Plununer,  Haddock,  were  common.

group,  Is  the  one  on  page  10  of  my  book  (there  numbered  12),  and  Mr.  Waters's 
record  gives  him  two  daughters,  *Elnere'  and  Joan,  whom  I  did  not  find  In 
the  will.    Perhaps  they  were  daughters-in-law.  ^«a  v  ^ ;  ',

Thomas.    His  first  wife  was  named  Alice.

*'  Nathan  Goald  of  Tring  "was  '  the  eldest  son  of  John  of  Merchants,'  and 
died  «.p. 

'*  Judith  of  Watford  (to  which  town  she  remoyed  after  the  death  of  her  has- 
band)  was  widow  of  John  of  King's  Langiey,  who  was  a  brother  of  my  ancestor 
Zaccheus,  and  of  Jeremy  of  Rhode  Island.  Her  son  Nathan  was  he  who  settled 
in  Amesbary  [Salisbury]  in  1652,  and  was  a  citizen  of  A.  in  1657.  His  descend- 
ants are  scattered  all  over  New  Hampshire  and  Vermont.  Administration  on 
the  estate  of  her  son  Zacchens,  resident  in  New  England,  was  granted  to  his 
sister  Elizabeth,  1650,  Sept.  12,  after  the  death  of  their  mother  Judith ;  but,  as 
the  mother  knew  of  his  death  when  making  her  will  May  6, 1650,  he  had  probably 
been  then  dead  for  some  time. 

**  Internal  eyidence  in  Judith  Gould's  will  has  long  led  me  to  suppose  that 
George  Young  was  the  husband  of  Sarah,  who  was  in  New  England  with  her 
children ;  but  I  haye  not  ventured  to  assume  it  with  any  certainty.  The  only 
George  Young  mentioned  by  Savage  was  of  Scituate,  1660,  and  does  not  appear 
to  have  been  the  man. 

**  If  any  one  has  any  knowledge  of  Sarah's  husband,  I  should  be  grateful  to 
receive  it. 

''Of  the  Thomas  Gould,  senior,  of  Bovingdon,  mentioned  in  Mr.  Waters's 
note,  I  have  no  knowledge."

FREDERICK  LOTHROP  AMES. 

By  the  Rev.  Edmund  B.  Willson,  A.M.,  of  Salem,  Mass. 

Frederick  Lothrop  Ames,  A.B.,  was  the  only  son  of  Oliver 
and  Sarah  (Lothrop)  Ames,  and  was  bom  in  North  Easton,  Mass., 
June  8,  1835,  and  died  while  passing  over  Long  Island  Sound, 
September  13,  1893. 

The  first  of  his  ancestors  in  America  was  William  Ames,  who 
came  in  1635  from  Bruton,  in  Somersetshire,  England,  to  Brain- 
tree  in  the  Massachusetts  Colony.  The  line  of  descent  firom  him 
to  the  subject  of  this  sketch  is :  William,*  John,"  Thomas,'  Thomas/ 
John,*  Oliver,*  Oliver,'  Frederick  Lothrop.*  Frederick  L.  Ames's 
mother  was  a  daughter  of  Hon.  Howard  Lothrop  of  Easton,  and 
sister  of  George  Van  Ness  Lothrop,  U.  S.  Minister  to  Russia  under 
the  first  administration  of  President  Cleveland.  Mr.  Ames  was 
descended  in  the  sixth  generation  from  Urian  Oakes,  the  fourth 
president  of  Harvard  College.  Hon.  Oakes  Ames  was  his  uncle, 
and  Ex-Governor  Oliver  Ames  was  his  cousin. 

Captain  John  Ames,  the  great-grandfather  of  Frederick  L.  Ames, 
was  the  beginner  in  a  small  way,  as  a  maker  of  shovels  in  West 
Bridgewater,  of  what  has  become  one  of  the  most  extensive  and 
noted  of  the  industries  of  New  England:  carried  on  at  North 
Easton  first  by  Oliver  Ames  &  Sons, — the  sons  being  Oakes  and 
Oliver  Ames, — and,  since  a  re-organization  in  1876,  under  the  title 
of  Oliver  Ames  &  Sons  Corporation. 

Educated  in  the  wholesome  home  training  and  neighborhood 
schools  of  Easton  at  the  start,  then  for  a  time  in  a  school  in  Con- 
cord, Mass.,  and  afterward  fitted  for  college  in  the  famous  prepara- 
tory school  at  Exeter,  N.  H.,  Phillips  Academy^  young  Ames  passed 
from  that  school  to  Harvard  College,  and  grachiated  in  1854. 

At  his  graduation  his  inclination  was  to  the  study  of  law.  But 
there  was  a  call  for  him  in  the  large  ^Eunily  business.  Yielding  his 
own  preference  to  his  father's  wishes,  he  took  his  place  with  his  older 
kinsmen,  and  engaged  at  once  in  the  service  of  the  Company  at 
North  Easton,  making  hims^  acquainted  with  their  already  widely 
extended  and  still  extending  business  enterprises.  He  became  a 
member  of  the  firm  in  1863,  and  its  treasurer  in  1876,  when 
the  re-organization  took  place.     This  office  he  continued  to  fill  to

conditi^ms  (fdmccetm.     The  constmction  of  railroads  in  all  parts  of  the 
(xmniry  was  developing  its  res^nmces,  and  these  resources  as  thej  were

Vast  r^atmbilities  for  ofiening  and  improving  unoccupied  regions  pre- 
senter] tnemselves  to  far-seeing  men.     And  now,  the  country  plunged 
snddenlv  info  a  d vil  conflic;t  for  very  existence,  had  desperate  need  of 
expeditious  c^mimunication  between  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Oceans. 
But  such  entenyfiscs  involved  cxtraonlinary  risks.     Among  the  most 
sagacious  of  those  who  comprehended  both  the  magnitude  and  the 
importance  of  these  enterprises,  and  at  the  same  time  the  risks,  were 
the  l;rothers,  Oakcs  and  Oliver  Ames.     Patriotic  observers  all  over 
the  land  welcomed  their  aid,  applauded  and  endorsed  their  leadership. 
Frederick  L.  Ames  was  of  the  same  blood.      Not  rashly  but  boldly, 
he  entered  this  field,  took  on  himself  with  a  rare  coolness  and  con- 
fidence heavy  responsibilities  in  undertakings  the  results  of  which 
even  the  sanguine  scarcely  ventured  to  predict.     His  expectations 
were  justified.     And  so  conspicuously  was  his  ability  manifested,  so 
approved  his  foresight  by  events,  that  his  co-operation  was  sought 
at  all  points  by  those  who  had  large,  complicated  and  difficult  projects 
of  this  nature  in  hand,  till  '^he  held  directorships  in  about  three 
score  railroad  companies."     It  did  not  take  men  of  discernment  long 
to  concludo  that  a  man  who  had  a  head  for  the  management  of  such 
far-reaching  and  intricate  organizations  was  a  desirable  adviser  and 
assistant  in  am  sort  of  affairs  requiring  these  qualities.     Naturally 
ho  was  solicited  to  become  associated  with  many  and  varied  corporate 
bodies. 

To  some  of  those  solicitations  widely  away  from  the  transactions 
of  business  ho  lent  a  sympathetic  car,  accepting  official  trusts  and 
responsibilities  in  educational,  charitable  and  religious  organizaions 
in  which  ho  took  a  sincere  interest,  bringing  to  them  the  clear 
head  so  necessary  as  the  complement  to  the  warm  heart.     He  was 

Iircsident  of  the  Home  for  Incurables,  a  trustee  of  the  Children's 
lospital,  of  t\\c  Massachusetts  General  Hospital,  of  the  McLean 
Insane  Asylum,  and  *'was  very  constant  and  faithful  in  his  duties  to 
those  institutions.**  He  was  a  Fellow  of  Harvard  College,  and  as  a 
lovttl  son  was  devising  liberal  tilings  for  her  benefit,  the  fulfilment 
of  which  only  his  death  prevented.  He  was  a  staunch  upholder  of 
his  C^Juiroh,  and  both  Unity  Church  in  North  Easton  and  the  First 
Church  in  Boston  had  his  reverent  affection  and  support

Mr.  Ames  was  as  far  as  possible  from  a  devotee  to  the  aocmnula- 
tion  and  dispensing  of  wealth.  As  his  most  intimate  friends  describe 
him,  there  were  in  him  not  only  the  elements  of  the  naturalist  and  the 
artist,  of  the  student  of  literature  and  disciple  of  science:  these 
had  a  developed  life  in  him,  and  a  leading  influence  with  him.  In  the 
thick  of  his  busiest  engagements  they  claimed  a  just  portion  of  his 
time,  had  his  care,  showed  their  ruling  presence  in  his  conversation 
and  in  his  character.  He  not  only  let  the  accomplished  architect 
build  for  him :  he  meditated  and  studied  the  structure  for  himself  as 
an  idealist.  He  not  only  bought  and  placed  the  picture  that  others 
approved  and  admired :  he  too  admired  it  and  knew  wherein  it  was 
admirable.  He  not  only  spent  money  in  beautifying  his  grounds :  he 
did  not  leave  it  all  to  the  gardener :  he  selected  among  the  things 
that  might  grow  there  what  his  taste  preferred,  and  caressed  his 
favorites.  His  books  not  only  ornamented  his  shelves,  he  had  them 
down  and  read  them.  When  he  came  home  he  left  his  business  out- 
side, not  seeming  merely  to  have  turned  in  for  rest  and  re-fitting  for 
the  next  campaign  among  the  competitors  for  fame  or  fortune.  He 
was  a  politician  in  the  best  sense,  in  that  he  loved  his  country, 
studied  its  institutions  and  policies,  and  put  himself  at  its  service  in 
any  place  where  he  was  needed,  but  stopped  short  of  blind  partizan- 
ship.     His  preference  was  for  a  private  station. 

''On  the  7th  of  June,  1860,  Mr.  Ames  was  married  to  Rebecca 
Caroline,  only  child  of  James  Blair,  of  St.  Louis,  Missouri.  Six 
children  were  bom  to  them,  of  whom  five  are  now  living,  namely, 
Helen  Angier,  the  wife  of  Robert  C.  Hooper  of  Boston ;  Oliver, 
who  married  Elise  A.  West  of  Boston ;  Mary  Shreve ;  Lothrop ; 
and  John  Stanley." 


CHIEF  JUSTICE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES, 

OR 

CHIEF  JUSTICE  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT  OF  THE 

UNITED   STATES? 

By  the  Hon.  William  A.  Richardsok,  LL.D.,  Chief  Jastice  of  the  Court  of  Claimt, 

Washington,  D,  C. 

The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  provides  that  '*  the  Senate 
shall  have  the  sole  Power  to  try  all  Impeachments.  WTien  sitting 
for  that  Purpose,  they  shall  be  on  Oath  or  Affirmation.  When  the 
President  of  the  United  States  is  tried,  the  Chief  Justice  shall  pre- 
side."    (Art.  1,  sec.  3.) 

This  is  the  only  reference  in  the  Constitution  to  the  office  of 
Chief  Justice.     Article   3,   sec.   1,  provides  that   '*The  judicial 


276  Uhtef  Justice  of  the  United  SuUes.  [July, 

Power  of  the  United  States,  shall  be  vested  in  one  supreme  Court, 
and  in  such  inferior  Courts  as  the  Congress  may  firom  time  to  time 
ordain  and  establish/'  and  in  Art.  1,  sec.  8,  that  ^The  Congress 
shall  have  power  •  •  •  ;  To  constitute  Tribunab  inferior  to 
the  Supreme  Court." 

The  Supreme  Court  has  never  been  established  otherwise  than, 
in  this  way,  by  the  Constitution. 

Congress  at  its  first  session  by  the  Act  of  Sept.  24,  1789  (1 
Stat.  L.  73),  proceeded  to  establish  the  judicial  courts  of  tiie  United 
States,  but  did  not  establtHh  the  supreme  court. 

Section  1  provided  ''That  the  supreme  court  of  the  United 
States  shall  consist  of  a  chief  justice  and  five  associate  justices  " 
upon  the  assumption  that  the  supreme  Court  already  existed  by  the 
constitution,  and  established  the  salaries  of  the  justices  and  the 
terms  of  the  court. 

Section  2  divided  the  United  States  into  thirteen  districts,  and 
section  3  provided  ^  That  there  be  a  court  called  a  District  Court,  in 
each  of  the  afore  mentioned  districts,  to  consist  of  one  judge,'*  and 
section  4  divided  said  districts  into  three  circuits  and  provided  ''  that 
there  shall  be  held  annually,  in  each  district  of  said  circuits,  two 
courts,  which  shall  be  called  Circuit  Courts,  and  shall  consist  of 
any  two  justices  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  the  district  judge  of 
such  districts." 

Thus  the  '^  chief  justice "  mentioned  in  the  Constitution  could 
be  no  other  than  the  chief  justice  of  the  supreme  court  of  the  United 
States,  the  only  court  expressly  recognized  and  established  by  that 
instrument. 

The  first  chief  justice,  John  Jay  of  New  York,  was  appointed 
Sept.  26,  1789.  He  was  commissioned  as  '^  Chief  Justice  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States."  Each  of  Ids  successors  was 
appointed  with  the  same  title  until  1888.     They  were : 

JohnRutledge  of  South  Carolina,  commissioned  July  1,  1795. 

Oliver  Elsworth  of  Connecticut,  March  4,  1796. 

John  Marshall  of  Virginia,  Jan.  31,  1801. 

Roger  B.  Taney  of  Maryland,  March  15,  1836. 

Salmon  P.  Chase  of  Ohio,  Dec.  6,  1864. 

Morrison  R.  Waite  of  Ohio,  Jan.  21,  1874. 

Congress  enacted,  1866,  July  13,  Ch.  210  (14  Stat.  L.  page  209)  : 
^  That  no  vacancy  in  the  office  of  associate  justices  of  the  Supreme 
Court  shall  be  filled  by  appointment  until  the  number  of  associate  jus- 
tices shall  be  reduced  to  six ;  and  thereafter  said  supreme  court  shall 
consist  of  a  chief  justice  of  the  United  States  and  sue  associate  jus- 
tices." 

This  is  the  first  time  the  designation  of  "  Chief  Justice  of  the  United 
States  "  appears  in  the  statutes  or  elsewhere. 

The  Act  of  April  10,  1869,  ch.  22,  provided  that  ''The  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  shall  hereafter  consist  of  the  Chief  Justice 


1895.]  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States.  277 

of  the  United  States  and  eight  associate  justices."  •  •  •  Qg 
Stat.  L.  44.) 

It  will  be  noticed  that  in  this  act  the  language  was  changed  from 
a  chief  justice  of  the  United  States  in  the  former  act  to  the  Chief  Jus- 
tice of  the  United  States.  When  this  was  incorporated  into  the 
Revised  Statutes  the  language  of  the  act  of  1866  was  restored  and 
the  provision  now  stands : 

"  Sec.  673.  The  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  shall  consist 
of  a  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  and  eight  associate  justices, 
any  six  of  whom  shall  constitute  a  quorum." 

The  title  of  ^  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  "  in  those  acts  seems 
to  have  attracted  little  attention  for  many  years.  A  work  by  Henry 
Flanders,  published  in  1861,  entitled  **The  Lives  and  Times  of  the 
Chief  Justices  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,"  makes  no 
mention  of  that  designation ;  nor  does  "  The  History  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States,  by  Hampton  L.  Carson,  of  the  Philadel- 
phia Bar,  and  its  Centennial  Celebration,  Feb.  4,  1890,"  published 
in  1892.  The  order  of  precedence  at  that  celebration,  as  published, 
was  "  The  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States, 
The  Associate  Justices,"  &c.,  and  Mr.  Amoux,  alone  of  all  who  spoke 
on  that  occasion,  in  his  address  of  welcome  used  the  statute  desig- 
nation, beginning  *^  Mr.  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  and  gen- 
tlemen, the  associate  justices  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States." 

It  was  certainly  unknown  to  the  Executive  in  1874  when  Chief 
Justice  Waite  was  appointed  and  commissioned  with  the  same  designa- 
tion as  that  of  each  of  his  predecessors. 

How  much  Chief  Justice  Chase  had  to  do  with  the  preparation  of 
the  acts  of  1866  and  1869  cannot  be  accurately  determined,  and  must 
be  left  to  inference  alone.  He  was  always  a  watchftd  guardian  of  the 
dignity  and  powers  of  any  office  which  he  held.*  When  he  presided, 
as  required  by  the  Constitution,  at  the  trial  by  the  Senate  of  the  im- 
peachment of  President  Johnson  in  1868,  he  strenuously  insisted 
that  as  presiding  officer  he  should  be  styled  ^  The  Chief  Justice,"  and 
in  the  official  record  of  the  proceedings  published  in  the  ^  Supplement 
to  the  Congressional  Globe  "  he  is  so  mentioned. 

The  record  states :  "  The  court  was  organized  on  Thursday,  the 
5th  day  of  March,  the  oath  being  administered  to  the  Chief  Justice  of 
the  United  States  by  Associate  Justice  Nelson,"  and  on  each  subse- 
quent day  of  meeting  the  record  begins,  "  The  Chief  Justice  of  the 
United  States  entered  the  Senate  Chamber  and  took  the  chair." 

«  Mr.  Chase  was  appointed  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  In  March,  1861.  Up  to  that  time 
all  the  namerous  loan  acts  of  the  Oovemnient  fh>m  the  beginning,  without  a  single  excep- 
tion, had  provided  "That  the  Prendent  of  the  United  State*  be,  and  hereby  is,  aothoriied 
to  borrow  on  the  credit  of  the  United  States,"  &c  This  formula  was  soon  after  changed 
to  read,  '*  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Tretuury  be,  and  he  is  hereby,  authorised  to  borrow, 
on  the  credit  uf  the  United  States,"  &c,  and  the  same  language  was  adopted  in  every  loan 
act  passed  while  he  was  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  and  has  ever  since  remained  the  formnla 
in  use  by  Congress. 

VOL.  XLIX.  24* 


278  Chief  Justicis  of  the  United  StatbSn  [July, 

The  Senate  took  a  difierent  view  of  the  matter  and  made  rules  fiM* 
that  trial  in  which  he  was  styled  **  The  Presiding  Officer  of  the  Sen- 
ate," and  he  was  addressed  as  Mr.  President,  by  Senators  and  by 
the  Managers  of  the  Impeachmient  on  the  part  of  tfie  House  of  Rep- 
resenhiiiyes. 

The  official  programme  for  thie  President's  tieceptioh  oh  New  Year's 
day  used  to  be  in  this  form,  after  the  Vice  President  d^d  Cabinet  and 
Ae  Diplomatic  Corps :  — 

**At  11.15  A.M.  the  Chief  Justice  and  Associate  Justices  of  the 
Supreme  Coiut  of  the  United  States,  the  Judges  of  the  United  States 
Court  of  Claims,  and  the  Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,"  followed  at  different  hours  by  Congressmen,  Army 
and  Navy  Officers  and  others. 

On  one  occasion  Chief  Justice  Chase  sent  a  messenger  to  President 
Grant  requesting  that  the  programme  be  changed  to  sudi  form  as  to 
make  h  ihore  marked  distiticdoU  between  the  Chief  Justice  iahd  the 
Associate  Juisftices. 

This  was  in  accordance  with  what  he  had  previously  toH  me. 
I  temember  a  conversation  with  him  about  1871,  in  which  he 
called  my  attention  to  the  question,  and  said  I  should  find  on  investi- 
gation that  the  Chief  Justice  was  separate  and  distinct  from  the  court, 
that,  to  he  stated  it,  "  the  court  was  buih  up  around  the  Chief  Jus- 
tice." On  account  of  that  conversation  and  the  suggestion  he  made 
I  thereupon  examined  the  constitution  and  statutes,  and  this  artide 
embodies  the  result  of  my  investigation. 

A  practical  settlement  of  the  question  was  finally  tnade  in  1888, 
when,  upon  the  death  of  Chief  Justice  Waite  and  the  selection  of  his 
successor,  the  statute  title  was  followed  by  President  Cleveland,  who 
made  the  nomination  in  these  words :  "  I  nominate  Melville  W.  Fid- 
ler,  of  Illinois,  to  be  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States."  That  nomi- 
nation was  confirmed  by  the  Senate  as  made,  and  the  commission 
was  drawn  in  the  same  form.  Thus  Chief  Justice  Fuller  is  the  first 
person  nominated,  confirmed,  and  comnussioned  as  Chief  Justice  of 
the  United  States. 

For  the  New  Year's  reception  by  the  President  in  1895  the  pro- 
grannne  was  first  changed  substantially  as  suggested  by  Chief  Justice 
Chase  more  than  twenty  years  before. 

It  is  not  to  be  overlooked  that  in  1801  Congress  established  th6 
Circuit  Court  of  the  District  of  Columbia  to  "  consist  of  one  chief 
ju^e  and  two  assistant  judges,"  unusual  distinctions  not  before  known 
in  judicial  history.  Thus  early  the  creation  of  another  chief  justice 
was  carefully  avoided  and  the  title  reserved  exclusively  for  the 
Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Coiut  of  the  United  States ;  and  so  it 
continued  until  1863,  when  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  District  of 
Columbia  was  established  to  **  consist  of  foiu*  justices,  one  of  whom 
shall  be  denominated  as  chief  justice."  Since  then  Congress  has 
established  o^er  courts  with  a  ctuef  justice  for  each.     The  fact  still 


1895.]  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States.  279 

remains  that  the  only  court  established  by  the  constitution  is  ^one 
supreme  Coiut,"  and  ^  the  Chief  Justice  "  elsewhere  mentioned  therein 
means  the  chief  justice  of  that  court. 

My  conclusion  is  that  both  titles  are  correct,  or  that  neither  is 
wrong.  They  are  synonymous.  Whether  appointed  Chief  Justice 
of  the  United  States  or  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States,  the  appointee  is,  in  either  case,  ^  The  Chief  Justice  " 
mentioned  in  the  Constitution.  I  think  the  more  correct  form  of 
legislation  is  that  of  the  act  of  1869,  which  provides  that  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  shall  consist  of  The  Chief  Justice  of  the 
United  States,  &c.,  rather  than  that  of  the  act  of  1866  and  the  Re- 
vised Statutes  whidi  provide  that  the  court  shall  consist  of  a  Chief 
Justice  of  the  United  States,  &c. 

It  is  a  singular  ccMncidence  that  a  like  question  has  been  raised  in 
England,  and  has  been  authoritatively  settled  at  a  comparatively 
recent  date. 

Lord  Russell,  the  present  Chief  Justice,  in  an  artide  in  the  Sep- 
tember number  of  the  North  American  Review  of  1894,  makes 
this  statement  in  regard  to  late  Chief  Justice  Coleridge,  appointed  in 
1880 :  — 

^  It  is  noteworthy  that,  whereas  eadi  of  his  predecessors  had  been 
described  in  his  patent  of  office  as  Chief  Justice  of  the  Bang's  or 
Queen's  Bench,  he  for  the  first  time  was  described  as  ^  Lord  CSiief 
Justice  of  England.' " 

In  answer  to  my  inquiries,  I  have  received  the  following  letter : 

Royal  Courts  of  Justice,  May,  1895. 

In  reply  to  your  letter  of  the  23d  April  I  beg  to  say  that  the  Jadicatare 
Act  of  1873  is  the  first  Act  of  Parliament  in  which  the  title  ^^  Lord  Chief 
Justice  of  England  "  occurs.  It  can  Dot  be  said  to  have  expressly  conferred 
the  title,  but  rather  seems  to  recognize  it  as  existing,  probably  because  Sir 
Alexander  Cockbum  had  maintained  his  right  to  be  called  Lord  Chief 
Justice  of  England,  although  his  patent,  dated  1859,  was  as  ^^  Chief  Justice 
to  hold  pleas  before  the  Queen  herself,"  that  is  Ixnrd  Chief  Justice  of  the 
Queen's  Bench. 

More  than  this  I  am  unable  to  ascertain  beyond  the  fact,  which  I  have 
stated  in  my  article,  that  Lord  Coleridge  was  the  first  Chief  Justice 
described  in  the  patent  as  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  England. 

My  own  patent  runs :  ^*-  To  Lord  Russell  of  Killowen,  G.  C.  M.  G.,  the 
office  of  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  England,  to  hold  the  same  so  long  as  he 
shall  well  behave  himself  therein,  with  all  wages,  profits  and  advantages 
due  and  in  right  belonging  thereto." 

Faithfully, 

Russell  of  EUlowen. 

Notwithstanding  the  description  in  the  patents  of  office  the  Chief 
Justices  of  the  King's  or  Queen's  Bench  had  been  conunonly  known 
from  the  earliest  days  by  the  present  title,  and  Lord  Campbell  pub- 
lished, in  U49,  without  mentioning  any  other  designatioii,  ^Hie 
Lives  of  the  Chief  Justices  of  England."

DANIEL  EAVENEL  OF  SOUTH  CAROLINA. 

To  recall  the  memory  of  departed  worth  is  softlj  pleasing,  though  a  sad 
privilege.  It  is  with  such  feelings  that  we  make  record  of  a  beaatifbl  life, 
which  ended  on  the  4th  daj  of  September,  1894,  in  Charleston,  S.  C;  a 
life  in  the  sixth  generation  of  a  Huguenot  family,  honorably  identified  with 
South  Carolina  for  more  than  two  centuries. 

It  is  an  interesting  historical  incident,  that  not  only  was  the  first  effort 
to  colonize  Carolina,  in  1562,  made  by  French  Protestants  under  the  truly 
great  Coligny;  but  the  eariiest  English  purpose  of  founding  a  colony, 
between  the  Cape  Fear  and  Port  Royal,  grew  out  of  the  desire  of  French 
Protestant  refugees,  then  in  England,  to  make  a  home  on — 

«  Chicora's  shore,  where  nature's  band 
Profusely  spreads  her  choicest  flowers. 
Where  not  a  rock  deforms  the  strand. 
Its  grores  of  palm  or  myrtle  bowers. 

•  •  •  • 

But  every  charm  that  nature  knows 
Shines  freshly  here — the  towering  trees. 

The  sea,  that  sparldes  as  it  flows, 
The  flowering  shrubs,  the  murmuring  bees." 

It  is  not  generally  known,  but  is,  nevertheless,  an  historical  ftet,  that  as 
early  as  the  10th  of  February,  1629,  French  Protestant  refugees  in  Eng- 
land were  in  communication  with  Charles  I.  for  planting  a  colony  in  what 
is  now  South  Carolina,  and  that  the  patent  issued  to  Sir  Robert  Heath,*  as 
sole  proprietor  of  thb  extensive  region,  grew  out  of  the  proposals  of  Soubise, 
Due  de  Fontenay,  representing  French  refugees  in  England,  whose  name 
is  indissolubly  associated  with  Rochelle,  France,  and  of  Antoine  de  Ridouet, 
Baron  de  Sanc^  hb  secretary. 

In  1630,  a  colony  of  French  Protestants  actually  sailed  from  England  for 
Carolina,  and,  as  this  most  interesting  record  shows,  in  the  ship  Mg/iower, 
Could  it  have  been  the  same  vessel  that  carried  the  Puritans  to  Plymouth 
Rock? 

How  mysterious  is  that  strange  f^te  which  from  a  small  dreomstanoe 
changes  the  largest  promised  results ! 

These  unfortunate  French  colonists  were  forced  to  endure  farther  saoi- 
fices  and  disappointments.  For  some  unexplained  cause  they  were  landed 
in  Virginia,  and  although  the  owners  of  the  vessel  were  made  to  pay  £600 
damages  for  the  miscarriage  of  this  hopeful  voyage,  it  was  insignificant,  in 
comparison  with  the  loss  of  an  early  and  promising  founding,  forty  years  in 
advance  of  the  Ashley  river  settlement  in  the  Spring  of  1 670. 

If  we  have  yielded  at  this  length  to  the  mention  of  the  identity  of  the 
Huguenot  refugees  with  Carolina,  it  is  for  the  reason  that  it  is  a  congenial 
topic,  and  has  its  proper  significance  and  relation,  as  well  socially,  as  his- 
torically; for  the  countrymen  of  Coligny  have  left  their  impress  on  their 
new  homes  everywhere  in  the  western  world,  and  nowhere  more  distinctly 
than  in  the  land  of  the  stately  oak,  festooned  with  grey  moss,  or  wreathed 
with  yellow  jessamine,  where  the  queenly  magnolia  scatters  the  perfome  of

its  white  flowers,  and  the  evergreen  palmetto  sentinels  the  shore,  typical 
of  heroic  deeds. 

It  is  too  a  pleasant  memory,  that  the  Huguenots  were  among  the  earliest 
settlers  under  Charles  Second*s  grant  to  the  Plight  Lords  Proprietors,  and 
that  between  1670-80  ihey  were  in  numbers  equal  to  the  founding  of  a 
church  in  Charlestown,  and  that  the  lot  at  the  south-east  corner  of  Queen 
and  Church  streets  in  that  city  has  been  occupied  since  1680-81  by  church 
buildings  of  the  French  Protestants. 

Amon<r  those  who  arrived  in  1685  was  Rene  Ravenel,  who  was  born  at 
Vitre,  Bretagne,  France,  26th  September,  1656.  In  1687  one  hundred  and 
eighty  families  arrived.  These  French  emigrants  and  many  others  pur- 
chased lands  from  the  numerous  and  powerful  tribe  of  Santee  Indians,  and 
"lived  in  their  midst  with  remarkable  and  continuous  friendship,  doin^ 
them  no  injustice  or  wrong." 

They  cultivated  the  soil  and  their  crops  of  rice,  indigo,  and  ultimately 
cotton,  and  the  production  of  naval  stores,  with  which  they  were  seemingly 
familiar,  so  improved  their  pecuniary  condition  that  for  more  than  two  cen- 
turies this  element  of  Carolina  population  bas  been  influential ly  identified 
with  the  life  of  that  community.  On  a  handsome  mural  tablet,  in  the 
French  Protestant  church,  Charleston,  in  memory  of  one  of  the  early 
settlers,  this  quotation  is  prominent: 

**  The  lines  are  fallen  unto  me  in  pleasant  places  and  I  have  a  goodly  heritage." 

It  was  true  of  each  and  all  of  them. 

Rene  Ravenel  married  Charlotte  de  St.  Julien,  demoiselle  de  Meslin,  on 
the  24th  October,  1687.  She  was  a  daughter  of  a  French  refugee.  Of  his 
sons,  Daniel  Ravenel,  born  in  1692,  lived  at  Summerton  plantation,  in  St. 
John's,  Berkeley,  near  the  present  "  Black  Oak"  P.  O.  His  wife  was 
Elizabeth  Damaris  de  St.  Julien,  a  native  of  Charlestown,  whose  father  had 
emigrated  from  Vitr^. 

At  the  Summerton  plantation,  the  chief  burial  place  of  the  Ravenels 
remains  to  this  day.  Daniel  Ravenel  of  "  Summerton "  had  a  son  — 
"Daniel  of  Wantout"  plantation,  born  4th  May,  1732.  His  son  Daniel 
was  born  11th  April,  1762,  died  15th  August,  1807.  He  was  the  father 
of  Henry  Ravenel,  born  10th  October,  1795,  who  married  Miss  Elizabeth 
Peronneau  Coffin,  born  24th  February,  1806,  who  was  descended  from  the 
Coffin  and  Amory  families  of  Massachusetts. 

Daniel  Ravenel  was  born  on  the  5th  September,  1834.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  the  classical  school  of  the  late  Christopher  Cotes,  an  English  gen- 
tleman of  marked  ability  as  a  teacher,  and  subsequently  graduated  at  the 
college  of  Charleston.  He  entered  upon  business  life  in  the  then  widely 
known  house  of  Ravenel  Brothers  &  Co.,  his  uncles  conducting  a  very 
extensive  business  at  home  and  abroad. 

This  career  was  interrupted  by  the  late  war  between  the  States.  In  the 
early  months  of  the  struggle  he  was  on  duty  with  the  Washington  Light 
Infantry,  and  subsequently  served  with  the  Marion  Artillery.  Of  delicate 
physique,  the  exposed  life  in  the  ranks  of  an  ill-supplied  army  soon  impaired 
his  health,  and  he  was  assigned  to  office  duty  in  the  ordnance  department, 
where  his  business  training  made  him  most  useful.  He  surrendered  with 
General  Johnston's  army  at  Greensboro,  N.  C,  and  finally  reached  his 
native  city,  which  had  been  shattered  by  shot  and  shell,  and  prostrated  by 
the  sacrifices  of  that  calamitous  period.  Under  such  depressing  circum- 
stances he  begun,  with  resolute  purpose,  the  up-building  of  his  broken  for-

tanes.  Many  old  established  commercial  houses  had  gone  down  in  the 
general  wreck,  and  new  lines  of  business  life  had  to  be  opened  up  under  the 
most  discouraging  environment.  Mr.  Ravenel  started  in  the  insurance 
business  in  its  several  branches.  His  high  character,  popularity  and  intelli- 
gent aptitude  soon  brought  him  a  large  underwriting  business,  which  con- 
tinued during  nearly  three  decades.  Unlooked-for  losses  early  in  his  busi- 
ness career  overtook  him,  under  peculiar  circumstances,  and  through  no 
fault  of  his.  To  his  honor  be  it  recorded  that  he  devoted  many  years  to 
the  payment  of  these  unexpected  debts.     No  one  ever  lost  a  cent  by  him. 

Mr.  Ravenel's  life  was  closely  interwoven  with  the  venerable  Huguenot 
church,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  elders,  and  in  which  his  ancestors  had 
worshipped  through  previous  generations.  His  time  and  purse  werb  ever 
at  its  service. 

Though  proud  of  his  lineage,  Mr.  Ravenel  was  a  lover  of  the  soil  which 
had  sheltered  the  French  exiles,  and  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  was  a  true 
friend  and  supporter  of  the  Confederate  Home.  Everything  that  was  for 
the  honor  or  welfare  of  his  native  State  found  a  warm  place  in  his  heart. 
He  might  be  well  pictured  in  the  poet's  eloquent  lines  — 

"  Love  thou  thy  land  with  love  far  brought 
From  out  the  storied  past,  and  used 
Within  the  present,  but  transfused 
Thro'  future  time  by  power  of  thought." 

In  his  select  library  could  be  seen  every  book  or  pamphlet  relating  to 
South  Carolina  or  Huguenot  hbtory  that  was  available  on  either  side  of 
the  Atlantic.  All  the  early  maps,  and  rare  plats  of  Carolina,  he  had  also 
gathered  up.  His  tastes  were  all  on  refined  lines.  He  was  well  informed 
in  numismatics,  that  seemingly  attracts  so  few  devotees,  and  yet  is  so  io- 
Btructive  aud  so  beautiful.  His  collection  of  book-plates  was  certainly  the 
largest  in  number,  the  most  valuable  in  rarity,  and  the  most  captivating,  in 
the  South.  These  precious  collections  were  not  selfishly  held  —  **  lights 
hid  un<ier  a  bushel."  Library,  coins  and  medals,  book-plates,  all  were  open 
to  their  respective  lovers,  to  make  free  use  of  them.  How  grateful  uow, 
these  pleasant  memories! 

Mr.  i^veuel  identified  himself  with  many  useful  local  associations,  and 
was  an  active  Free  Mason  in  that  old  fraternity.  Typical  of  the  ancient 
order,  his  sympathies  were  broad,  and  his  active  codperation  could  be  surely 
counted  on  for  sweet  charity's  sake,  or  for  any  worthy  call  in  behalf  of 
City  or  State. 

Mr.  Ravenel  became  a  member  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealo- 
gical Society  in  1875,  and  remained  so  to  death.  He  manifested  a  ntroDg 
interest  in  the  objects  of  the  Society,  waH  a  donor  to  its  collections,  and 
always  a  reliable  and  ready  source  for  any  information  in  his  possession. 

He  died  4th  of  September,  1894,  on  the  eve  of  his  GOth  birthday,  uni- 
versally respected  and  mourned  by  a  very  large  circle  of  relatives  and 
friends. 

Mr.  Ravenel  married  on  the  24th  January,  1866,  Miss  Harriet  Parker  of 
Columbia,  S.  C,  who,  with  a  son  and  daughter  (the  seventh  generation), 
survive  him. 

Holding  no  public  station,  living  strictly  a  private  life,  it  is  rare  that  so 
much  of  intrinsic  worth  is  found  in  a  single  citizen,  and  of  him  it  may  be 
truly  said  — 

**  Only  the  actions  of  the  Just 
Smell  sweet  and  blossom  in  the  dust."

After  the  preceding  wills  at  Lichfield  came  to  light,  further  inquiry 
showed  that  the  Garfields  were  settled  at  Church  Lawford  in  Warwickshire 
till  towards  the  close  of  the  last  century,  and  by  the  kindness  of  the  vicar 
of  that  parish,  the  Rev.  W.  M.  Wood,  who  took  considerable  trouble  in 
extracting  them,  I  am  able  to  give  all  the  Garfield  entries  in  the  registers 
there.  The  Garfields  are  now  extinct  in  Church  Lawford.  Mr.  Wood, 
writing  iu  1890,  says :  ^  I  can  learn  no  more  in  the  parish  about  the  family. 
The  oldest  inhabitant,  who  is  90,  never  even  heard  the  name.  The  clerk, 
who  is  an  old  man,  remembers  an  old  saying  that  used  to  be  current  in  the 
parish,  about  a  man  acting  like  Garfield  Webb.  The  clerk  did  not  know 
there  ever  had  been  such  a  person.  But  yon  find  that  in  the  year  1810 
Garfield  Webb  was  buried,  and  between  1500  and  1600  the  Webbs  and 
Garfields  intermarried."

From  the  Fourth  Report  of  the  Royal  Commisrion  on  Historical  Mann-

1640.  Dec  22.  PetiUon  of  WiOiam  Garfidd  and  Euseby  Woolfo, 
churchwardens  of  Upton,  in  the  County  of  Northampton.  Dr.  Samuel 
Clarke,  parson  of  St.  Peter^s,  Northampton,  sent  one  Pidgeon  to  Upton  to 
cut  the  table,  place  it  altarwise  in  the  chancel,  and  nm  it  in,  and  then 
directed  them  to  pay  Pidgeon  for  his  trouble,  which  they  declining  to  do 
have  suffered  excommunication  and  loss.  Pray  that  Dr.  Clarke  may  be 
called  upon  to  answer,  and  directed  to  restore  the  table  to  its  ori^aal 
position. 


304  Essex  Family  of  Hay  ties.  [Jidy> 

1640.  Dec.  22.  Draft  order  that  Dr.  Clarke  shall  make  a  Dew  table  for 
the  chapel  of  Upton  at  hit  own  cost,  and  pay  the  Petitioner's  charges,  or 
else  appear  to  show  cause  to  the  contrary. 

In  the  eighteenth  century  some  Garfields  were  connected  with  Gloucester- 
shire.*  The  feet  of  fines  of  14  George  II.,  1740,  give  a  final  concord  re- 
lating to  a  messuage  in  Chipping  Camden,  in  which  William  Scott  was 
plaintiff  and  John  Garfield  and  his  wife  Eleanor  deforciants.  And  in  1712 
administration  to  the  goods  of  Henry  Garfield,  late  of  Dorsington,  was  com- 
mitted by  the  Gloucester  Probate  Court  to  Elizabeth  Garfield,  his  relict.

He  was  buried  at  Copford  Hall,  agreeable  to  a  request  in  this  will.  He  visited 
the  family  at  Hartford,  Conn.,  darlog  his  father's  lifetime  (see  his  letters  in

On  the  north  wall  of  the  sacrarium  is  a  marble  tablet  which  records 
quite  a  family  history : 

''Here  lies  (near  the  remains  of  his  ancestors)  the  body  Mr.  William 
Boys,  Gent,  oldest  son  of  the  Rev.  W.  James  Boys,  late  vicar  of  the

Ann,  his  wife,  who  was  the  daughter  of  Major  General  Haynes,  of  Copford 
Hall,  in  this  county.  John  Cox  was  of  Emmanuel  College,  in  Cambridge 
&  of  Gray's  Inn  London,  Barrister-at-law,  and  (late)  of  Mount  Hall,  in 
this  parish.

his  remains  are  also  interred  after  a  long  life  spent  in  piety  and  good  works; 
hi6  great  care  &  study  in  particular  was  to  instruct  the  poor  and  ignorant

ON  THE  SAYBROOK  BRANCH  OF  THE  FAMH^Y  OF 
DEPUTY  GOVERNOR  WILLIAM  JONES  OF 

NEW  HAVEN,  CONN. 

By  Edwin  A.  Hill,  Esq.,  of  New  Haren,  Ct. 

When  the  Strong  Genealogy  was  published  some  years  since,  the 
statement  was  made  on  page  161  that  Isaac  Jones  of  New  Haven 
(son  of  Deputy  Governor  William) ,  by  wife  Deborah  Clark,  had  a 
son  Isaac  bom  1698  at  New  Haven,  who  resided  at  North  Bolton, 
Conn.,  and  died  in  1782,  and  who  was  the  father  of  Joel,  bom 
1721,  and,  through  him,  the  ancestor  of  the  Hon.  Anson  Jones, 
ez-prcsident  of  the  Republic  of  Texas,  etc.,  etc. 

This  statement  is  incorrect.  Isaac,  the  grandson  of  the  Deputy 
Govemor,  was  bom  Dec.  23,  1702,  lived  in  Saybrook,  and  died 
there  Aug.  3,  1759,  and  was  one  of  the  ancestors  of  the  Saybrook 
family;  the  other  being  his  brother  James  Jones,  born  May  16, 
1709,  who  died  in  Saybrook  in  May,  1768. 

There  was  another  Jones  family  in  Saybrook,  descended  from 
Thomas  Jones  of  Guilford,  1639,  who  returned  to  England  about 
1654.  Of  his  four  children,  (1)  Sarah  married  John  Pratt  of 
Saybrook,  June  8,  1665 ;  (2)  Samuel  moved  to  Saybrook  and 
married  Mary  Bushnell  (who  was  undoubtedly  one  of  the  daughters 
of  Deacon  Francis  Bushnell),  where  he  had  issue  and  perpetuated 
the  name ;  (3)  Nathaniel  died  at  Branford  in  1668,  and  (4)  Thomas 
died  January,  1651.  I  have  never  found  proof  of  any  relationship 
between  Thomas  of  Guilford  and  Deputy  Gov.  William  of  New 
Haven,  though  such  relationship  is  not  impossible.  Mrs.  Amelia 
D.  Stearns,  of  West  Newton  St.,  Boston,  has  for  some  time  been 
collecting  information  concerning  the  descendants  of  Thomas  Jones  of 
Guilford,  and  has  a  fine  collection  of  records  pertaining  to  that 
family.

The  statement  in  the  Strong  Genealogy  was  criticized  in  The 
New  York  Biographical  and  Genealogical  Secord  (vol.  iv.,  page 
40)  in  the  following  language :  — 

'*  Mr.  Alljn  S.  Kellogg  of  YerDon,  Conn.,  has  called  my  attention  lately 
to  the  fact,  which  we  discussed  in  1861,  that  Isaac  Jones  of  North  Bolton, 
Ct,  was  not  a  descendant  of  Depty.  Gov.  William  Jones.  Mr.  Savage 
shows  (Gen.  Diet.  11,561)  that  Isaac  Jones,  son  of  Isaac  of  New  Haven, 
was  born  Dec.  23,  1702,  and  the  Rev.  Isaac  Joses  of  Litchfield,  Conn., 
himself  a  member  of  the  New  Haven  family,  when  writing  some  years 
before  1850  to  Miss  Sophia  Jones,  a  sister  of  Hon.  Anson  Jones,  M.D., 
ex-president  of  the  Republic  of  Texas,  referred  to  this  Isaac  Jones,  giving 
for  his  birth  the  same  date  given  by  Savage,  and  saying  that  he  liv^  and 
died  in  Saybrook,  and  assuming  that  he  was  the  grandfather  of  Miss 
Sophia  Jones'  father.  Here  begin  the  kinks  in  this  pedigree,  and  the  Hon. 
Anson  Jones,  M.D.,  though  he  saw  the  discrepancy,  and  tried  to  explain  it, 
seems  never  to  have  found  the  true  solution  of  the  difficulty.  He  died 
Jan.  9,  1858,  and  from  his  papers  his  son  Cromwell  Anson  Jones,  when 
Dot  more  than  20  years  old,  took  the  defective  pedigree,  which  he  fur- 
nished to  Rev.  Mr.  Dwight  for  the  Strong  Genealogy." 

When  the  late  Alvan  Talcott,  M.D.,  compiled  his  mannscript 
Genealogies  of  Guilford  Families  (the  original  of  which  is  now 
deposited  in  the  library  of  the  New  Haven  Colony  Historical 
Society,  and  a  copy  of  same  with  the  town  clerk  of  Guilford),  he 
fell  into  this  same  error  and  incorporated  into  his  record  of  the 
descendants  of  Dept.  Gov.  William  all  of  the  known  descendants 
of  Isaac  of  North  Bolton.  At  a  later  date,  however,  either  himself 
or  some  other  person  has  made  entries  on  the  MSS.  in  the  N.H. 
Col.  Hist.  Society,  to  the  effect  that  Isaac  of  North  Bolton  was  not 
a  descendant  of  Dep.  Governor  William,  but  of  Lewis  Jones  of 
Watcrtown,  Mass.,  and  that  Isaac  of  North  Bolton  was  No.  25  of 
the  descendants  of  Lewis  in  Goodwin's  Genealogical  Notes  of 
Connecticut  Families  (see  page  129).  My  own  descent  is  through 
the  Saybrook  family ;  and  in  1874  I  spent  several  days  visiting  my 
great  aunts  —  the  l^Iisses  Harriet  and  Temperance  Jones  —  in  the 
old  Jones  homestead,  near  the  railroad  station  in  Old  Saybrook,  for 
the  purpose  of  gathering  up  for  future  use  all  that  could  be  derived 
from  their  records,  documents  and  memories  pertaining  to  the 
genealogy  and  history  of  the  Saybrook  branch  of  the  family ;  and  I 
then  made  abstracts  of  documents  which  fully  settle  the  question 
of  the  connection  of  the  Saybrook  with  the  New  Haven  family. 
Quite  recently  a  case  came  to  my  notice  where  a  family  of  the 
name,  misled  either  by  the  Strong  Genealogy  or  the  Talcott  MSS., 
before  they  were  corrected,  traced  back  to  Isaac  of  North  Bolton, 
and  confidently  claimed  descent  from  Dep.  Governor  William. 
I  have  thought,  therefore,  that  the  present  was  a  proper  time  to 
settle  this  question  for  all  time. 

The  following  are  abstracts  made  by  me  in  Saybrook,  in  1874,

N<>2.  Receipt  dated  Feb.  11  1742-3— John  Tallmadge  of  New 
Haven  and  Samnel  Elwell  of  Fairfield  Ct  acknowledge  receipt  from  their 
brethren  Isaac  Jones,  Jacob  Jones,  and  James  Jones,  their  share  of  the 
estate  of  their  honored  father  Mr  Isaac  Jones  late  of  New  Haven  deceased. 

Other  documents  could  be  given,  but  the  two  abstracted  above 
settle  the  question  fully,  and  enough  is  enough.  It  is  not  my  in- 
tention now  to  give  more  than  a  very  brief  sketch  of  the  descendants 
of  Isaac  and  James  of  Saybrook.  Mr.  Timothy  Jones  of  Dan- 
bury,  Conn.,  (who  is  a  descendant  through  Jacob  of  Ridgefield),  is 
co-operating  witU  me  in  preparing  for  publication  a  genealogy  of 
the  descendants  of  Deputy  Governor  William  Jones  of  New 
Haven,  which  we  desire  to  make  as  complete  as  possible,  and  I 
wish  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  and  request  all  who  claim  descent 
firom  the  Deputy  Governor,  whether  of  the  name  Jones  or  not,  to 
forward  their  family  records  to  either  Mr.  Timothy  Jones  or  my- 
self. I  am  also  investigating  the  ancestry  of  the  Deputy  Governor 
and  would  be  very  glad  to  hear  from  any  one  who  can  throw  any 
light,  however  small,  upon  this  question,  which  we  shall  discuss  in 
the  genealogy.  We  have  very  little  on  the  descendants  of  James 
Jones  of  Saybrook,  and  I  trust  this  article  will  meet  the  eye  of 
some  one  of  his  descendants  who  will  communicate  with  me  at  once. 

Among  the  lines  of  the  family  not  well  traced  out  at  the  present 
time,  and  concerning  which  I  would  be  very  glad  to  receive  infor- 
mation, are  the  following :  — 

1.  Descendants  of  James  Jones  of  Saybrook,  born  May  16,  1?09  (as 
already  noted). 

2.  Of  Theophilus  Eaton  Jones  of  Norwalk,  Conn.,  born  March  20,  1?06, 
who  married  Sarah  Cornell,  daughter  of  Paul  and  Susanna  CorDell. 

8.  Isaac  Jones,  son  of  John  Jones  and  Hannah  Bassett,  born  at  Milford  ?

and  Sarah  Jones  of  Wallingford,  Ct. 

7.  Basil  Jones,  son  of  William  of  Marblehead,  residing  in  New  Haven 
in  1739-40.

This  list  could  be  extended,  but  I  will  go  no  further  with  it,  but, 
instead,  will  request  all  descended  from  Deputy  Governor  William 
to  send  in  their  family  records  at  once  to  either  Mr.  Timothy  Jones 
of  Danbury  or  to  the  writer,  Edwin  A.  Hill,  care  of  A.  F.  Wood's

Mrs.  Amelia  D.  Stearns  has  lately  written  me  as  follows :  *'  My 
record  of  the  family  of  Isaac  and  Deborah  (Parker)  Jones  is  not  just  like 
yours.  My  record  begins  with  Hester,  b.  Oct.  11,  1726;  then  Isaac,  b. 
July  7,  1730,  d.  May  2,  1739 ;  a  son,  twin  to  Isaac, died  the  same  month; 
then  Temperance,  without  date ;  then  Parker ;  then  Mabel ;  then  Molly, 
who  died  Feb.  24,  1866,  set  70 ;  then  Sybil ;  lautly  Isaac,  who  is  called  % 
minor  in  the  will.  I  do  not  assert  that  this  is  a  correct  list  of  the  chil- 
dren. It  is  made  np  of  such  names  and  dates  as  were  in  my  collection, 
and  placed  as  nearly  in  correct  order  as  I  could  determine.  I  did  not  sup- 
pose that  Temperance  was  the  same  as  Mabel.  Probably  the  daughter, 
Hannah,  who  was  bapUzed  March  17, 1742,  died  before  the  will  was  mtade." 

The  descendants  of  Parker  Jones  are  the  only  ones  that  have  been 
traced  as  yet.  We  are  desirous  of  hearing  from  descendants  of  the  other 
children,  particularly  of  Isaac 

2.  James  Jones  of  Saybrook,  brother  of  the  preceding  and  son  of  Isaac 

and  Deborah  (dark)  Jones,  of  New  Haven,  born  May  16,  1709  (or 
1708  according  to  Savage),  married  Sarah  Willard. 
Of  his  children  I  have  record  of: — 

i.  Sarah,  b.  May  27, 1741. 

ii.  JA3IR8,  b.  Jan.  19,  1743-4.

Wiltiam,  Elisha,  Jo$qph,  and  daughters  Deborah  Stevens  and  Hannah

There  are  also  probate  proceedings  on  the  estate  of  one  Joseph 
Jones  of  Saybrook  (whotn  I  presume  to  be  the  son  of  Isaac).    His

This  is  about  all  that  we  know  at  present  about  the  descendants 
of  James  of  Saybrook,  and  we  would  be  verj  glad  to  know  more. 
The  Saybrook  records  are  verj  incomplete,  and  it  is  quite  difficult 
to  make  much  headway  in  genealogical  researches  in  Saybrook 
without  the  use  of  private  family  records.  Hence  this  article,  in 
the  hopes  that  those  interested  in  the  family  and  having  access  to 
original  records,  will  kindly  copy,  and  forward  the  same  for  use  in 
our  work  in  hand. 


ANCESTRY  OF  WILLIAM  STONE,   GOVERNOR  OF 

MARYLAND,    1648-1655. 

By  Elliot  Stonb,  Rivcrdale,  N.  Y.  City. 

The  following  notes  respecting  the  ancestry  of  the  first  Protestant 
Governor  of  Maryland,  the  forefather  of  Thomas  Stone,  signer  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  many  other  distinguished 
men,  may  perhaps  be  of  interest. 

The  "Ajrchives  of  Maryland"  show  that  in  1647  a  power  of 
attorney  was  given  by  Thomas  Stone  or  Stones  of  London,  haber- 
dasher, to  his  ''cousin"  (t.c.  nephew),  Capt.  William  Stone  of 
Accomac,  Virginia,  to  collect  a  debt  from  one  Thomas  Weston, 
and  a  letter  from  Weston  to  William  Stone  refers  to  the  latter's 
"uncle."  Governor  Stone  had  resided  in  Accomac  before  he  went 
to  Maryland  at  the  instance  of  Lord  Baltimore,  and  Thomas  Stone 
of  London  lived  in  "Cateaton  Street,"  Aug.  10,  1647,  at  which 
time  he  was  about  68  years  of  age. 

The  Visitation  of  London,  1633-5,  gives  this  pedigree  :  — 

"  Per  Garter  Segar  in  a  large  pedegree  of  20  descents,  but  full 
of  errors." 

William  Stone = Elizabeth,  da.  of  John  Bradley

three  fleurs-de-lys  argent,  as  many  harts;  and  an  escatcheon  of  pretence

many  mullets  or.  Crest:  a  anicom's  head  sable  issuing  from  rays  or, 
maned  and  armed  of  the  last,  between  two  wings  displayed  of  the  first 

Burke  states  that  these  arms  were  granted  by  Segar,  and  Berry 
says  ^  granted  to  Thomas  Stone,''  and  no  doubt  tiie  crest  was  then 
granted,  but  that  the  arms  are  more  ancient  is  evidenced  by  the 
STthat  the  Visitation  of  London  also  contains  the  pedigri  of 
Andrew,  younger  brother  of  Thomas,  showing  the  same  arms 
(without,  of  course,  the  escutcheon  of  pretence  for  Lufkyn)  and 
the  note  "  respited  for  proof." 

Now,  there  is  in  Maryland,  in  the  possession  of  a  descendant  of 
Gov.  William  Stone,  a  very  old  ring  which  displays  the  arms  of  the 
pedigree,  viz. :  Stone  quartering  Brickleton  and  Girdler,  but  withr 
out  any  crest,  as  was  not  uncommonly  the  custom  with  ancient  arms. 
The  air  of  authority  imparted  by  the  absence  of  the  crest  is  increased 
by  the  fact  that,  while  the  exact  charges  of  the  three  coats  are  en- 
graved upon  the  ring,  no  tinctures  are  delineated ;  for  as  the  system 
of  indicating  colors  and  metals  by  lines  and  dots  is  said  to  have  been 
introduced  in  England  about  1640,  it  was  probably  not  in  general 
use  for  some  years,  and  earlier  rings  would  not  show  it.  This  ring 
would  seem  to  indicate  that  Thomas  Stone  of  the  pedigree  was  the 
^  haberdasher  "  of  Cateaton  Street,  who  was  uncle  of  Gov'.  Stone 
of  Maryland,  and  proof  of  this  is  afforded  by  '^Marriage  Licenses 
granted  by  Bishop  of  London,  which  include  a  license  on  April  9, 
1632,  for  Richard  Porter,  Esq.,  and  Martha,  dau'.  of  Thomas 
Stoney  haberdasher^  of  St.  Lawrence  Old  Jury.  Cateaton 
Street  was  in  the  parish  of  St.  Lawrence  Old  Jury,  and  it  seems 
a  fair  inference  that  Gov'.  William  Stone  was  son  of  one  of  the 
brothers  of  Thomas  the  haberdasher,  and  therefore  a  grandson 
of  Richard  of  Carhouse.  Baine's  History  of  Lancaster,  v.  3,  p. 
412,  mentions  John  Stone,  Esq"  of  Carr  House,  in  Much  Hoole 
parish,  as  a  benefactor  of  the  church  at  Hoole  in  1633,  who  was  no 
doubt  the  eldest  son  of  Richard.  ^  Twiste  "  mentioned  in  the  pedi- 
gree may  be  a  corruption  of  Twiston  also  in  Lancashire. 

Governor  Stone  had  a  sister,  called  Bridget  by  some,  who 
married  Rev.  Francis  Doughty,  and  his  will  mentions  brother 
Richard,  "natural  brother"  Matthew,  brother  Sprigg,  and  sons 
Thomas,  Richard,  John,  Matthew,  as  well  as  daughters  Elizabeth, 
Catharine,  Mary.  Weston's  letter  above  noted,  which  is  dated  in 
1644,  mentions  a  parcel  of  Tobacco  which  "your  brother  Mr.  John 
Stone  had  of  me  many  years  past,**  and  it  would  be  interesting  to 
know  if  Captain  John  Stone  "  of  violent  temper,"  who  with  Cap- 
tain Norton  was  kiUed  by  the  Pequots  on  the  Connecticut  Biver, 


816  United  States  Pensioners.  i^^Tf 

was  of  the  same  stock.  It  is  certain  that  he  had  been  of  Accomac, 
for  William  Cotton,  the  minister  there  and  brother  of  Governor 
Stone's  wife,  complained  to  the  Court  Oct.  25,  1634,  that  the  ad- 
ministrator of  Captain  John  Stone,  deceased,  had  not  paid  tithes. 

Thomas  Stone,  haberdasher,  of  S*.  Lawrence  Old  Jury,  was  evi- 
dently in  sympathy  with  the  Puritans,  for  the  **  Calendar  of  State 
Papers "  shows  he  was  called  before  the  Court  of  High  Commis- 
sion, and  in  1640  his  son  in  law,  William  Wheat,  wrote  to  the 
Dean  of  Salisbury  that  certain  foolish  actions  in  Chester  were 
without  "privity  of  my  father  Stone."  On  March  2,  1634-6, 
Henry  Whitfield  wrote  to  Dr.  Stoughton  of  Aldermanbury  in  re- 
gard to  a  curate  whom  he  wished  to  employ,  and  told  Dr.  Stoughton 
to  send,  if  he  could  help  him,  to  "  Mr.  Stone  of  Cateaton  Street." 
There  can  be  no  doubt  that  this  Henry  Whitfield  was  afterward  the 
revered  miniater  of  Guilfo^,  Conn.TInd  it  is  for  future  investiga- 
tion  to  show  whether  the  presence  in  Guilford  of  two  settlers  named 
Stone  had  any  bearing  upon  the  acquaintance  of  their  leader  with 
Mr.  Stone  of  Cateaton  Street,  the  uncle  of  Gov.  Stone  of  Maryr 
land. 

In  a  later  generation  a  curious  coincidence  is  afforded  by  the  fact 
that  the  names  of  all  the  sons  of  Elias  Stone  of  Charlestown,  Mass., 
(except  Elias,)  John,  William,  Thomas,  Robert,  and  Richard,  are 
found  in  the  pedigree  above  mentioned,  but  Mr.  Henry  F.  Waters 
is  a  descendant  of  this  fi&mily,  and  may  some  time  elucidate  this 
and  other  problems  of  the  Stones  of  New  England.

From  LIB.  ODIX :  fol.  467-76.    Essex  (Moss.)  Probate  Registry. 
Copied  by  Obo.  A.  Oorook,  A.  M.,  of  Somenrille,  Mass. 

Be  it  remembered,  that  under  the  Act  of  the  Congress  of  the  United 
Stated,  passed  on  the  seventh  day  of  June,  A.D.  1832,  entitled  "An  Act 
supplementary  to  the  *  Act  for  the  relief  of  certain  surviving  oflScers  and 
soldiers  of  the  revolution,' "  commonly  called  the  Pension  Act  of  1882, 
and  the  regulations  adopted  by  the  Secretary  of  War  for  carrying  into 
effect  the  provisions  of  said  act,  it  being  understood  that  the  court  of  pro- 
bate of  the  county  where  the  applicant  for  pension  under  said  act  may 
reside,  is  a  court  of  record  within  the  meaning  of  said  regulations ;  adjudi^ 
cation  was  had  on  the  applications  of  the  several  persons  hereafter  named, 
at  the  court  of  probate  holden  on  the  day  (see  note)  set  against  their 
respective  names,  and  the  certificate  of  the  register  of  probate  given  on  the 
same.  And,  as  the  regulations  require  the  original  proceedings  to  be  trans- 
mitted to  the  war  department  at  Washington  for  inal  adjudioation,  th^

were  not  preserved  here ;  but,  on  being  certified  by  the  register,  were  given 
to  the  several  applicants,  or  their  respective  agents  or  attorneys,  for  that 
purpose. 

It  may  be  proper  to  add  that  in  almost  every  instance  the  applicant 
appeared  in  court  in  person ;  though  in  a  few  instances  his  declaration  ''  by 
reason  of  bodily  infirmity  *'  was  taken  out  of  court  by  the  judge,  and  the 
adjudication  on  the  same,  with  the  certificate  of  the  register,  made  at  a 
subsequent  term  of  the  court. 

It  may  also  be  added  that  in  many  instances  the  papers  came  back,  after 
having  been  sent  to  the  war  department,  on  account  of  some  defect  or 
informality  in  the  proceedings.  Such  cases  are  marked  with  the  date  on 
which  the  rectification  by  granting  a  new  certificate  or  otherwise  was  made. 

For  ease  of  reference  the  names  are  given  alphabetically,  and  are  all  the 
cases  acted  on,  unless  some  may  have  been  accidentally  omitted. 

The  place  of  residence  of  each  applicant  at  the  time  of  applying  is 
annexed  to  his  name,  and  all  are  within  the  county,  excepting  one  in  an 
adjoining  town. 

This  is  all  the  record  of  these  proceedings  in  this  office,  of  which  the 
case  seems  to  admit.

This  record  of  emigration  is  worth  note,  and  it  is  possible  that 
some  of  the  children  in  this  list  may  be  still  living.  My  sexton,  H. 
E.  Barber,  remembers  the  event.  They  started  in  an  eclipse  of  the 
smi,  and  the  waggon  broke  down  after  they  had  gone  a  little  way. 
When  they  reached  Ipswich  they  lay  a  fortnight  at  *'  Pin  Mill "  before 
the  ship  started.  The  families — Groves,  Knights,  Smith  and  Snow- 
ling  went  out  at  the  same  time.

New  InvKX  to  the  Probate  Records.— The  Registry  of  Probate  for  the 
county  of  Suffolk  has  long  served  as  a  model  of  arrangement  for  other  public 
offices,  and  the  improved  system  introduced  there  twenty  years  ago  has  since 
been  adopted  by  other  registries  of  probate.  The  present  year  sees  another 
long  stride  In  advance.  The  new  Index,  which  has  been  so  long  in  preparation, 
is  now  ready  for  use,  and  for  the  first  time  in  this  Commonwealth  the  searcher 
of  probate  recoix)s  has  a  printed  index  placed  before  him  to  aid  him  In  his  work. 
The  importance  of  this  step  will  be  readily  understood  by  all  who  have  occasion 
to  consult  such  records. 

The  new  index  is  a  consolidation  of  the  manuscript  indices  previously  in  nse. 
It  is  printed  in  large  clear  and  handsome  type  on  paper  made  expressly  for  the 
purpose,  in  three  large,  quarto  volumes,  and  covers  the  period  from  16S6  U>

1893  inclnsire.  It  has  been  prepared  nnder  the  supervision  of  Elijah  Qoor^^y 
register  of  probate  and  insolvency.  LilLe  the  manuscript  index  previotmly  in 
nse  it  is  arranged  according  to  the  Christian  as  well  as  the  surnames  of  all  per- 
sons whose  wills  have  been  probated  or  whose  estates  have  been  administered 
upon  during  that  period,  giving  the  year  in  whidi  the  proceedings  were  b^^n, 
the  nature  of  the  case  (t*.  e,  whether  a  testate  or  intestate  estate,  guardianship, 
trust,  etc.)  and  the  docket  number.  It  is  a  perfect  key  to  the  contents  of  the 
Suffolk  Probate  Office  with  its  682  huge  volumes  of  records,  the  94,757  cases 
shown  on  its  docket  and  tiie  flies,  which  it  is  estimated  will  soon  number  a 
million  of  documents. 

A  copy  of  this  monumental  work  should  be  placed  in  every  Probate  office  in 
the  State.  There  is  probably  not  a  county  in  the  Commonwealth  where  titles 
to  real  estate  do  not  depend  on  some  proceeding  taken  at  some  time  or  other  in 
its  history  in  the  Probate  Court  for  the  county  of  Suffolk. 

The  fortunate  inception  and  successful  completion  of  this  great  undertaking 
lead  us  to  hope  that  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  idl  manuscript  indices  in 
public  offices  will  give  place  to  printed  volumes.  The  public  convenience,  tiie 
safety  of  the  reco^s  and  the  progress  of  the  age  alike  demand  it.

Early  Iksttranck  of  Animals  Against  Liohtnino. — The  following  docu-

and  the  Sd.  Buswell  doth  hereby  warrant  their  Lives  against  Lightning  and  that 
only  for  the  space  of  six  years  from  the  above  date— Said  Holden  on  his  part. 
Doth  promise,  bind  and  oblige  himself  and  heirs  to  Deliver  to  the  Said  Buswell 
four  cows  not  less  than  three  years  old  nor  more  than  seven  years  old  of  a  mid-

be  deld.  to  Said  Buswell  or  heirs  at  the  end  of  6  years  from  the  above  date,  and

Derby,  Hobart,  Sumner.— Edward  Derby  married  in  Weymouth,  first  Buth, 
daughter  of  Simon*  Whitmarsh,  about  1 687.  He  married  second,  widow  Rebecca 
(Sumner)  Hobart  of  Hingham,  1705.  The  early  records  of  Weymouth  say  that 
**  Edward  Darbey  was  after  Banns  Nov.  4, 1705."  [She  was  daughter  of  Roger 
and  Mary  (Josselyn)  Sumner  of  Milton,  born  at  Lancaster,  Mass.,  Oct.  9, 1671. 
She  married  Aaron^  Hobart  of  Hingham,  Jan.  27,  1697.  He  was  drowned  in 
Boston  harbor  March  8,  1705.  She  had  by  Hobart  four  children,  among  whom 
was  Isaac*  b.  July  15,  1700,  who  was  ancestor  of  a  numerous  and  respectable 
race  of  Hobarts  outside  of  Hingham ;  vide  Aaron  Hobart  of  Bridge  water  and 
Benjamin  Hobart  of  Abington.] 

Edward  Derby  seems  to  have  lived  in  Weymouth  and  Braintree  both.  The 
dates  of  births  of  some  of  his  children  are  on  the  records  of  both  towns.  He 
was  in  Braintree  in  1698,  and  in  Weymouth  in  1712,  when  he  shared  in  the 
division  of  lands. 

He  died  January  6,  1724.  His  will  of  January  8,  1724,  names  children  Jona- 
than, Samuel,  Rebeca  and  Ruth. 

His  children,  whose  descendants  are  numerous  and  respectable,  were : —

Some  Autooraphs  in  a  Family  Bible. — I  have  in  my  possession  a  quarto 
volume,  formerly  the  property  of  Colonel  Lemuel  Bobinson,  of  Dorchester,  bom 
1736,  died  1776  (brother  to  my  great-grandmother  Anne),  in  which  there  are  a 
few  autographs  of  interest.  The  volume  contains  the  '*  Breeches  Bible,**  im- 
printed at  London  by  Robert  Barker,  1613;  the  Booke  of  Common  Prayer;  The 
Genealogies  recorded  in  the  Sacred  Scriptures;  and  The  Booke  of  Psalmes 
(Stemhold  &  Hopkins) ;  bound  in  that  order.  A  few  pages  are  missing,  and 
the  binding  is  distinctly  xviii.  century,  or  later.  The  blank  page  facing  the 
opening  chapter  of  the  Apocrypha  contains  three  autographs. 

1.  ''Standfast  ThankfuU  \  Broum  \  Her  Book."  The  r  of  Brown  is  the  Ger- 
man r ;  of  Her,  the  modem  one.    There  is  no  date. 

2.  Lemuel  Bobinson  \  His  Book  |  Anno  Dominij  |  1748. 
Both  the  above  are  beautifully  written. 

3.  The  third  autograph  is  that  of  a  skilful  penman.  It  is  evidently  written 
by  a  person  of  mature  age,  accustomed  to  write  much  and  quickly.  I  read  it : 
**Th  Dok  Cristy,**  but  this  may  easily  be  wrong. 

Chapter  viii.  of  Esdras  has  on  the  margin  in  excellent  script : 

4.  *»  Htypestill  foster  \  HU  Book  \  1678."  This  is  Hopestill*  (d.  1717)  son  of 
HopestilU  Foster  (d.  1676).    The  final  r  is  the  German  r. 

On  the  blank  page  facing  the  beginning  of  the  New  Testament,  the  youthful 
Robinson  (then  12  years  old)  repeats  his  autograph  and  the  date  (1748)  inside 
the  outline  of  a  heart;  and  his  name  (extremely  neatly  written)  occurs  on  vari- 
ous margins  also.  On  the  border  of  the  first  chapter  of  the  first  Epistle  to  the 
Thessalonians,  there  is  written,  in  a  crabbed  mature  hand,  what  I  take  to  be : 

6.  '»5    J  GUV* 

Finally,  on  page  38  of  the  Psalms  in  Metre  is  written,  in  a  boy's  hand : 

6.  ''  Ahiel  Foster** 

The  family  name  was  first  written  Foser,  and  the  (  has  been  inserted  with  a 
caret. 

I  shall  be  glad  if  anyone  can  throw  any  light  on  autograph  3  above.

LoKER,  Daniel,  Newton,  Draper.— John  Loker  of  Sudbury,  Mass.,  married 
Mary  Draper,  and  he  died  June  18,  1653.  In  his  will  he  refers  to  Robert  Daniel 
as  his  brother  in  law,  and  to  Robert's  wife  as  **  Sister  Bridget  Daniel";  and  he 
also  refers  to  '*  Sister  Newton." 

Robert  Daniels  was  in  Watertown  before  1636,  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  died 
October  2,  1643.  May  2,  1654,  he  married  widow  Reana  Andrews.  He  died 
June  6,  1655.  Reana  surviving  him,  and  he  left  five  children,  namely,  Elizabeth, 
wife  of  Thomas  Fanning,  Samuel,  Joseph,  Sarah  and  Mary ;  most  of  them,  per- 
haps all  of  them,  being  then  minors. 

It  would  seem,  therefore,  that  between  the  death  of  his  wife  Elizabeth  and 
his  marriage  with  Reana,  Robert  Daniel  married  Bridget  Loker  (or  Draper),  who 
died  between  June  1653  and  May  1654. 

The  estate  of  Nathaniel  Sparrowhawk  of  Cambridge,  1647,  owed  somewhat 
to  Robert  Daniel ;  and  Richard  Newton  of  Sudbury  was  a  debtor  to  the  estate. 
[Register,  vol.  vii.,  p.  175.] 

I  should  be  glad  to  know  more  of  the  antecedent  history  of  the  families  of 
John  Loker  (whose  mother  may  have  been  widow  Elizabeth  Loker,  who  d« 
March  3,  1648}  and  of  John  Loker's  wife  Biary,  bom  Draper.

Robert  Daniels  signed  and  sealed  his  own  will  (1655),  the  seal  being  a  clear 
anchor  with  the  letter  D  on  the  right  side ;  and  as  one  of  the  appraisers  of  Jcdm 
Loker^s  estate  (1658)  his  name  appears  as  signing  by  his  mark;  bnt  it  is  a  cnri- 
oas  fact  that  the  handwriting  of  his  name  is  evidently  the  same  in  both  cases. 

Apropos  of  the  Loker  family  it  may  be  well  to  make  record  in  the  Rboistbr 
that  the  romantic  story  of  the  courtship  of  John  Loker's  daughter  Mary  and 
Jonas  Prescott,  as  told  in  the  Military  Annals  of  Lancaster,  is  merely  romance. 
One  of  the  parents  there  said  to  be  violently  opposed  to  Mary's  marriage, 
died  before  Mary  was  bom.

Adams,  Cart,  Standish. — Eliashib^  Adams,  jr.,  was  born  in  Medfleld,  Mass., 
Feb.  18,  1659,  the  son  of  Eliashilb'  and  the  grandson  of  Henry^  of  Braintree. 
He  was  in  Bristol,  Mass.  (now  Rhode  Island),  Feb.  11,  1689,  unmarried.  He 
married  there  Mehetable,  daughter  of  John  and  Elisabeth  Gary,  of  Brldgewater, 
Mass.,  Dec.  18,  1689.  She  was  born  Dec.  24,  1670.  John  Gary  was  the  first 
town  clerk  of  Brldgewater,  from  1651  until  his  death,  Oct.  81,  1681.  Mrs.  Gary 
died  in  1680.  About  that  time  John,  jr.,*  and  David*  Gary  went  to  Bristol,  and 
their  sister  Mehetable  appears  to  have  gone  there  to  live  with  them,  after  the 
death  of  her  father. 

EUashib'  Adams,  jr.,  died  in  Bristol  in  1698.  The  will  of  Eliashib  Adams, 
carpenter,  of  Bristol,  was  offered  for  probate  at  Taunton*  Aug.  2,  1698.  It 
was  witnessed  by  David  and  John  Gary  and  Benjamin  Jones.  In  his  will  he 
names  wife  Mehetable,  and  children  Eliashib,  William,  Lydia  and  Mehetable. 

The  children  of  Eliashib  and  Mehetable  Adams  were,  according  to  Bristol 
town  and  church  records : — 

1.  Lydia,*  bom  Jan.  17,  1691,  bap.  Dec.  22,  1695. 

2.  William,*  born  June  8,  1693,  bap.  Dec.  22,  1695. 
8.    Mehetable,*  bom  Aug.  8,  1695,  bap.  Dec.  22,  1695. 
4.    Eliashib,*  bora  Sept.  11,  1697,  bap.  Sept.  19,  1697. 

Widow  Mehetable  Adams  married  second,  in  Bristol,  Dec.  5,  1700,  Miles 
Standish,  and  the  town  record  adds  that  **  they  moved  to  Preston,  Gonn."  I 
do  not  find  any  children  of  theirs.  This  Miles^  Standish  was  son  of  Josiah* 
and  Sarah  (Allen)  Standish  of  Duxbury  and  other  towns,  finally  settling  in 
Preston,  Gonn.,  1687. 

Eliashib*  Adams,  jr.,  settled  in  Preston,  and  had  a  son,  Eliashib*  who  had  a 
son  Eliashib,*  born  in  Gauterbury,  Gonn.,  June  6,  1773,  and  died  in  Bangor, 
Maine,  Aug.  28,  1855.    He  was  a  most  worthy  and  notable  citizen.

John  Fulford. — Information  wanted  about  John  Fulford,  a  member  Lodge 
of  St.  Andrew,  of  Boston,  Dec.  16,  1774.  He  was  commissioned  Feb.  9, 
1776,  by  the  Golony  of  Maryland,  Gaptain  of  a  company  of  Matrosses,  to  be 
stationed  at  Annapolis.  He  was  killed  at  Ridgeley's  Furnace,  Baltimore  Go., 
Md.,  by  the  premature  discharge  of  a  cannon  which  was  being  tested  on  Oct. 
20,  1780.  At  time  of  his  death  he  was  major  of  artillery.  He  was  married  to 
his  second  wife,  Eleanor  Bodkin,  by  Rev.  Mather  Byles,  jr.,  June  29,  1769.

March  9,  1806,  Rhoda  Westcott,  of  Stephentown,  N.  Y.,  and  settled  at  Balls- 
ton,  N.  Y.    His  eldest  dan.  was  named  Elizabeth  Ann,  and  his  third  dan.  Eunice. 

The  following  points  seem  to  prove  that  the  Eli  Baranm  who  mar.  Rhoda 
Wescott,  was  the  Eli  Bamum  Jr.  bi^.  March  13,  1783,  viz. :  1.  Although  bap. 
1783,  his  name  precedes  his  sister's  (b.  1782)  on  the  register,  and  so  was  her  senior

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  NEW-ENGLAND  mSTORIC 

GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prepared  by  the  Historiographer,  Sey.  Esra  Hott  Btikoton,  D.D.,  of  Newton,  Mass. 

The  sketches  of  deceased  members  prepared  for  the  Reoisteb  are  of 
necessity  brief,  because  the  space  that  can  be  appropriated  is  quite  limited. 
All  the  materials  for  more  extended  memoirs  which  can  be  gathered  are 
preserved  iu  the  archives  of  the  Society,  and  they  will  be  available  for  use 
in  preparing  the  *' Memorial  Biographies/'  of  which  five  volumes  have 
been  issued  and  a  sixth  volume  is  in  preparation.  The  income  firom  the 
Towne  Memorial  Fund  is  devoted  to  the  publication  of  these  volumes. 

Hamiltox  Akdrxws  Hill,  A.  M.,  LL.D.,  of  Boston,  died  very  suddenly 
April  27,  1895.  The  distinguished  services  which  he  has  rendered  to  this 
Society,  and  the  high  position  which  he  attained  as  a  historian  and  a  man  of 
letters,  make  it  proper  for  us,  at  this  first  meeting  after  his  death,  to  do  honor 
to  his  memory. 

He  was  the  son  of  Hamilton  and  Anna  Andrews  Hill,  and  was  bom  in  Lon- 
don, April  14,  1827.  The  family  can  be  traced  back  to  the  sixteenth  or  seven- 
teenth century  in  English  history.  Clement  Hill,  of  Paddington,  England,  was 
married  in  1640.  Hugh  Hill  was  baptized  in  1664.  His  son  William  was  bap- 
tized in  1698.  William  Hill  of  Exeter,  the  second  of  the  name,  was  baptized  in 
1726,  and  the  third  William  was  baptized  1759.  His  son  Hamilton  was  the 
father  of  our  late  associate.  He  was  formerly  a  merchant  in  London.  Li  con- 
sequence of  his  well  known  sympathy  with  the  cause  of  anti-slavery  In  the 
United  States,  he  was  invited  to  come  to  America,  and  take  the  position  of 
treasurer  of  Oberlin  College,  at  Oberlin,  Ohio.  He  accepted  the  position,  and 
brought  his  family  to  this  country.  He  was  treasurer  of  Oberlin  more  than 
twenty-five  years,  and  during  those  years  he  exerted  great  infiuence  In  the 
Western  Reserve,  entering  vigorously  into  various  movements  then  in  progress, 
for  social  and  political  reform. 

His  oldest  son,  Hamilton  Andrews,  received  his  early  education  in  the  pub- 
lic schools  of  London.  After  the  family  came  to  America  he  studied  for  a  time 
at  the  College  In  Oberlin,  Ohio.  He  left  before  completing  the  full  collegiate 
course.  In  1849  he  entered  business  in  Boston  as  a  shipping  and  conmiission 
merchant.  Later  he  was  a  member  of  the  commission  house  of  Sears  &  HilL 
In  1867  he  was  made  Secretary  of  the  Boston  Board  of  Trade,  and  held  the  posl* 
tion  till  1873.  He  was  Secretary  of  the  National  Board  of  Trade  from  1868,  for 
more  than  twenty  years.  He  was  Commissioner  on  European  Emigration,  of 
the  Chicago,  BurKngton  &  Quiney  BaHroad,  from  1878  to  1875.  He  was  a  mem<^ 
ber  of  the  House  of  Representatives  from  Boston,  from  1878  to  1881,  serving* 
as  Chairman  of  the  Committees  on  Finance,  and  on  Harbors  and  Public  Lands. 
In  1878  and  1879  he  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  State  Charities.  These  honor- 
able positions  which  he  filled  show  not  only  the  great  ability  of  Mr.  HIU,  but 
his  public  spirit,  and  his  devotion  to  the  best  interests  of  this  city  and  of  his. 
adopted  country.

350  Jfecroloffy  of  Historic  Genealogical  Society.        [Jolj* 

His  later  years,  of  comparative  leisure  from  business,  have  been  given  in 
large  part  to  literary  pnrsaits.  He  was  a  fine  historical  scholar,  with  a  wide 
and  accurate  knowledge  of  New  England  history,  and  a  real  interest  in  the 
Puritan  age.  As  he  did  not  have  the  advantages  of  a  theological  training,  he 
was  perhaps  unable  to  appreciate  at  its  full  value  the  theology  of  the  fathers  of 
New  England,  and  to  write  as  discriminatingly  as  a  theological  expert  might 
have  done  in  regard  to  their  religious  views.  But  the  massive  volumes  which 
he  has  left  are  invaluable  contributions  to  the  religious  history  of  New  England. 

He  was  the  author  of  a  number  of  historical  pamphlets,  some  of  which  he  has 
read  at  the  stated  meetings  of  tliis  society.  He  was  the  author  of  an  important 
chapter  in  The  Memorial  History  of  Boston,  on  the  Trade,  Commerce  and  Navi- 
gation of  Boston,  1780-1880.  His  two  most  important  works  are :  A  Memoir 
of  Abbott  Lawrence,  a  book  of  243  pages,  published  in  1883 ;  and  a  History  of 
the  Old  South  Church  of  Boston,  published  in  1890  in  two  large  volumes,  which 
contain  together  about  1300  pages,  and  cover  the  period  from  1669  to  1884.  The 
life  of  Mr.  Lawrence  was  suggested  by  a  sketch  which  Mr.  Hill  was  appointed 
to  prepare  for  a  volume  of  our  Memorial  Biographies.  The  History  of  the  Old 
South  was  prepared  from  the  original  records.  After  he  had  written  several 
chapters  of  the  first  volume,  an  important  MS.  came  to  his  knowledge,  during 
a  visit  to  New  Haven,  which  made  it  necessary  to  rewrite  a  large  part  of  the 
history.  It  is  a  monumental  work,  and  shows  the  great  historical  ability  of  the 
author.  It  will  always  be  consulted  as  one  of  the  most  accurate  and  reliable 
authorities  relating  to  our  history. 

Dr.  Hill  was  a  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  Vice  President 
of  the  American  Statistical  Association,  Treasurer  of  the  American  Social  Sci* 
ence  Association,  a  Director  in  the  Bostonian  Society,  a  member  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Historical  Society,  and  of  a  number  of  other  similar  associations.  He 
was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  society  May  4,  1870,  and  became  a  life 
member  in  1891.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  from  1887  to 
1889,  and  a  member  of  the  Council  for  three  years  following.  He  served  as 
Corresponding  Secretary  from  1887  to  1889,  and  as  Historiographer  from  18^ 
to  his  resignation  in  1892.  His  contributions  toward  the  memoirs  of  oar 
deceased  members  were  numerous  and  valuable. 

The  degree  of  A.M.  was  given  him  at  Oberlin  in  1867.  The  next  year  Williams 
College  gave  him  the  same  degree,  and  in  1893  or  1894  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  gave  him  the  degree  of  LL.D. 

He  was  married  in  Roxbury  May  4,  1859,  to  Miriam  Phillips,  daughter  of 
Samuel  Walley.  She  died  in  1862.  His  second  marriage  took  place  May  27, 
1869,  with  Anna  Frances,  daughter  of  Charles  Carruth. 

Hon.  Peleo  Emort  Aldrich,  LL.B.,  LL.D.,  of  Worcester,  was  bom  in  New 
Salem,  Massachusetts,  July  24,  1813,  and  died  in  Worcester  March  14,  1895. 
He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  society  in  1892. 

Judge  Aldrich  was  a  lineal  descendant  from  George  Aldrich,  who  came  from 
England  in  1635,  and  settled  first  in  Dorchester,  and  afterward  in  Mendon.  The 
descendants  from  this  family  are  very  numerous,  and  are  now  living  in  neariy 
every  State  of  the  Union.  It  has  had  its  representatives  in  all  the  learned  profes- 
sions and  in  both  houses  Of  Congress.  Several  of  them  have  been  judges  in  the 
Courts  of  different  States.  Some  have  been  known  in  literature.  The  majority 
have  been  farmers  for  seven  generations. 

Mr.  Aldrich  was  not  a  graduate  of  college ;  although,  after  leaving  the  aca- 
demy, he  pursued  by  himself  a  course  of  study  equal  to  that  of  a  New  England 
College.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Harvard  Law  School  in  1844,  receiving 
the  degree  of  LL.B.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Richmond,  Virginia,  in  1845, 
and  in  Springfield,  Massachusetts,  in  1846.  He  began  the  practice  of  law  in 
Barre,  Massachusetts,  and  continued  there  seven  years.  For  three  years  he  was 
editor  and  publisher  of  the  Barre  Oazette*  He  removed  to  Worcester  in  1854, 
and  entered  into  partnership  with  Hon.  Peter  C.  Bacon,  which  partnership  con- 
tinued until  he  left  the  bar  for  the  bench  in  1873.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  from  Barre,  in  1863,  and  was  a  representative  from 
Worcester  in  the  State  LegisUtore  in  the  years  1866  and  1867,  and  took  an  active 
part  in  the  debates  and  business  of  the  House.  In  1862  he  was  Mayor  of 
Worcester,  and  was  interested  not  only  in  the  ordinary  duties  of  his  ofldce  bnt 
in  the  large  number  of  soldiers,  who  were  at  that  time  in  the  army,  from

Worcester.  He  risited  them  in  their  camps  and  hospitals,  and  used  the  means 
within  his  command  to  promote  their  comfort  and  efficiency.  In  1870  he  was 
appointed  by  Governor  Claflin  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  a  posi- 
tion which  he  continued  to  hold  until  his  appointment  to  the  bench. 

He  was  eminent  as  a  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court.  He  had  a  capacity  for 
doing  an  enormous  amount  of  hard  work,  and  doing  it  rapidly,  without  appa- 
rent labor  on  his  part.  He  was  a  well  read  lawyer,  and  had  his  resources  well 
at  his  command.  If  he  was  somewhat  stem  and  severe  in  his  manner,  he  was 
always  guided  by  his  sense  of  justice.  He  was  a  judge  of  undoubted  integrity, 
and  of  remarkable  insight.  He  was  in  the  82d  year  of  his  age  when  he  presided 
at  the  long  winter  term  of  the  Superior  Court  in  Worcester,  which  adjourned 
on  the  20th  of  February  last.  He  had  not  missed  a  day  or  a  session,  and  he  had 
walked  every  day  to  and  from  the  Court  House. 

He  published  in  1885  a  work  on  Equity  Pleading  and  Practice. 

He  was  for  many  years  a  trustee  of  the  Worcester  Polytechnic  Institute,  and 
when  he  visited  Europe  in  1887  he  gathered  a  large  amount  of  information  in 
regard  to  foreign  institutions  of  that  sort,  for  the  advantage  of  the  Institute. 

Judge  Aldrich  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  American  Antiquarian 
Society,  and  one  of  the  council  of  that  venerable  and  learned  body.  He  pre- 
pared and  read  several  papers  on  historical,  legal  and  literary  subjects,  which 
have  been  published  vrith  the  proceedings  of  the  society.  During  the  three 
years  that  he  has  been  a  member  of  our  society  he  has  occasionally  attended  its 
stated  meetings,  and  at  the  last  meeting  at  which  he  was  present  he  was  called 
upon  to  preside  in  the  absence  of  the  president.  He  received  the  honorary 
degree  of  LL.D.  from  Amherst  College  in  1886. 

In  1850  he  married  Sarah,  the  eldest  daughter  of  Harding  P.  Woods,  of  Barre, 
who  survives  him  with  two  sons  and  three  daughters. 

Le\'^rett  Saltonstall,  a.  M.,  LL.B.,  of  Newton,  was  bom  in  Salem  March 
16,  1825,  and  died  at  Chestnut  Hill,  Newton,  April  15,  1895. 

Mr.  Saltonstall  was  descended  from  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  who  came  to  this 
country  in  1635,  and  became  the  leader  in  the  settlement  of  Watertown.  His 
descendants  have  been  distinguished  in  the  different  professions  and  in  business 
life.  A  number  of  them  have  become  eminent  men.  Leverett  Saltonstall, 
senior,  was  a  distinguished  lawyer.  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
President  of  the  State  Senate,  member  of  Congress,  the  first  mayor  of  Salem, 
and  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Overseers  of  Harvard  College.  He  was  the  father 
of  our  resident  member,  the  subject  of  this  sketch. 

Leverett  Saltonstall  was  prepared  for  college  in  the  Salem  Grammar  and  Latin 
Schools,  and  was  graduated  from  Harvard  College  in  1844.  He  was  tbe  sixth 
in  lineal  descent  to  graduate  from  Harvard  College,  and  his  son  was  the 
seventh.  (See  Sibley's  Harvard  Graduates,  Vol.  II.  p.  8.)  He  studied  law  at 
the  Harvard  Law  School,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1850.  Before  this 
time  he  had  traveled  abroad  for  two  years  and  a  half,  visiting  the  countries  of 
Europe  and  of  the  Orient. 

He  practised  law  in  Boston  for  ten  years  with  success  and  distinction.  He 
was  active  in  the  political  affiiirs  of  the  country  before  and  during  the  civil  war. 
He  was  a  war  Democrat,  and  made  speeches  on  Boston  Common  to  encourage 
enlistments  and  to  aid  in  carrying  on  the  war.  He  presided  at  two  or  three 
Democratic  State  Conventions,  and  had  a  wide  acquaintance  among  the  political 
men  of  the  country.  He  took  a  leading  part  in  the  presidential  campaign  when 
Mr.  Tilden  and  Mr.  Hayes  were  the  candidates.  He  believed  that  Mr.  Tilden 
was  rightfully  elected,  and  during  the  contest  that  followed  the  election  he  was 
sent  to  Florida  to  see  that  fair  play  was  accorded  by  the  returning  board. 

In  1876  Govemor  Gaston  appointed  him  Commissioner  for  Massachusetts  to 
the  Centennial,  and  he  spent  the  summer  of  that  year  at  work  in  the  interest  of 
exhibitors  from  Massachusetts.  In  1885  he  was  appointed,  by  President  Cleve- 
land, Collector  of  the  port  of  Boston,  and  held  the  position  till  February,  1890. 

Mr.  Saltonstall  was  for  two  years  President  of  the  Unitarian  Club  of  Boston. 
He  was  a  tmstee  of  the  Perkins  Institution  for  the  Blind.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  for  many  years.  He  was  elected  a 
resident  member  of  this  society  August  6,  1856. 

A  number  of  those  who  knew  him  best  have  borne  witness  since  his  death  to 
the  purity  of  his  character  and  to  the  osef  olness  of  hla  life.    Mr.  Warren  said :

**  Mr.  Saltonstall  was  one  of  the  most  tme-bearted,  honest,  genial  men  in  Ameri- 
can politics.  He  so  hated  anything  that  was  mean  or  corrupt  that  his  vigoroaa 
Indignation  conld  not  be  controlled  in  the  presence  of  anything  saToring  of  dis- 
honesty. A  thorongh  gentleman,  of  the  old  school  type  of  manners,  he  was 
loyed  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him,  and  he  flUed  a  place  in  BCassachnsetta 
that  few  can  occapy.** 

He  married,  October  19, 1854,  Rose  8.,  daughter  of  John  C.  and  Harriet  Lee* 
They  had  six  children,  five  of  whom  surTiye  him. 

John  Patkick  Pbendssqast,  B.  A.,  of  Dablin,  Ireland,  a  corresponding 
member  of  this  society,  was  bom  in  Dublin  in  1808,  and  died  February  6,  1894. 

He  belonged  to  an  ancient  and  distinguished  family,  which  has  furnished  a 
succession  of  eminent  men,  useful  in  civil  and  military  life,  and  in  literature. 

He  was  graduated  by  Trinity  College,  Dublin,  1825,  and  was  called  to  the 
Irish  bar  in  1880.  In  1886  he  was  appointed  agent  of  Lord  Clif den's  Irish 
estates,  a  position  which  had  been  held  by  his  father  and  his  grandfather  before 
him.  He  determined  early  in  his  life  to  employ  his  leisure  in  some  historical 
pursuits  connected  with  his  professional  worlL.  In  1846  he  was  asked  to  make 
some  researches  concerning  the  pedigree  of  an  Anglo-Norman  family  in  the 
County  of  Tipperary.  ThU  opened  the  way  for  him  to  give  his  attention  to 
the  settlement  of  Ireland  at  the  time  of  the  restoration,  after  the  oyerthrow  of 
the  Commonwealth.  To  do  this  it  was  necessary  to  study  the  CromweUian  set- 
tlement,  and  this  opened  the  way  to  a  series  of  historical  researches  which  he 
continued  until  a  few  years  before  his  death.  The  story  is  told  in  the  preface 
to  the  first  edition  of  his  great  work,  The  CromweUian  Settlement,  published 
in  1865  (see  Register,  page  296,  1867).  The  same  year  Mr.  Prendergast  was 
nuule  Master  of  the  Rolls,  to  select,  for  transcription,  the  official  papers  refer* 
ing  to  Ireland,  from  the  Carte  manuscripts.  In  this  work  he  was  associated 
with  Dr.  Russell,  the  President  of  Maynooth  CoUege.  The  two  worked  together 
until  1877,  when  Dr.  Russell  was  disabled  by  an  accident.  Their  report,  pre- 
sented in  1871,  is  full  of  interest  and  information. 

In  1868  he  published  The  Tory  War  in  Ulster.  In  1887  he  published  Ireland 
from  the  Restoration  to  the  Reyolution. 

His  main  interest  lay  in  a  certain  epoch  of  Irish  history.  His  knowledge  of 
the  history  of  Irish  families  was  equal  to  that  of  any  one  in  the  country.  He 
was  also  an  authority  in  archeology. 

In  politics  he  was  a  Liberal  all  his  life.  He  desired  reform  for  Ireland,  and 
believed  that  the  disestablishment  of  the  Church  and  the  amendment  of  the 
laws  relating  to  the  tenure  of  land  would  remove  the  causes  of  complaint  in 
Ireland.  He  was  therefore  a  staunch  Unionist,  believing  that  the  British  Par- 
liament alone  could  rule  Ireland  properly. 

He  was  a  friend  and  admirer  of  Mr.  Lecky,  and  an  antagonist  of  Mr.  Fronde. 

He  left  one  son,  who  has  become  a  naturalized  citizen  of  this  country.  By 
his  will  he  bequeathed  to  the  King's  Inn  Library  a  score  or  more  of  manuscript 
volumes  concerning  those  periods  of  Irish  history  in  which  he  was  especiaUy 
interested. 

William  Noel  Saiksburt,  Esq.,  of  London,  England,  a  corresponding  mem- 
ber of  this  society  for  thirty-five  years,  died  at  his  residence  at  Sutherlimd 
avenue,  London  West,  March  9,  1895,  in  his  seventieth  year. 

Mr.  Salnsbury  was  formerly  Assistant  Keeper  of  the  Public  Records.  Be- 
tween 1860  and  1884  he  compiled  six  volumes  of  State  papers,  connected  witii 
the  history  of  the  English  Colonies  in  America,  the  East  Indies  and  the  West 
Indies,  and  also  with  China  and  Japan.  He  was  the  editor  of  a  volume  entitled 
Original  Unpublished  Papers,  illustrative  of  the  Life  of  Peter  Paul  Ruben8» 
preserved  in  Her  Majesty's  State  Paper  Office,  London.  8vo.,  pp.  xxiv.,  894. 
The  editor  of  this  work  was  commended  by  the  London  Atheneeum  of  1859,  and 
by  the  North  American  Beview  of  July  of  the  same  year.  His  Calendar  of  State 
PM>er8)  Colonial  Series,  1574-1660,  is  a  work  of  special  interest  for  American 
readers,  although  all  his  volumes  are  full  of  valuable  information. 

Mr.  Salnsbury  published  some  books  of  a  more  popular  character,  such  as 
Hearts  of  Oak,  Stories  of  Early  English  Adventure.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society,  and  of  a  number  of  other  historical  societies.

Massachusetts,  August  20,  1834,  and  continued  there  until  1839. 

He  had  taken  a  partial  course  in  medicine  before  he  became  a  minister.  The 
failure  of  his  voice  in  1839  made  it  inexpedient  for  him  to  continue  to  preach, 
and  he  resumed  his  medical  studies,  graduating  from  the  Berkshire  Medical 
School  in  1844.  He  engaged  in  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  Boston.  In 
1846  he  became  the  editor  of  the  Journal  of  Health,  a  position  which  he  filled 
for  three  years.  He  subsequently  became  Professor  of  Anatomy  and  Physiology 
in  a  Western  University. 

He  entered  with  great  energy  into  the  anti-slavery  discussions  of  his  time, 
and  became  widely  known  as  an  abolitionist.  He  was  a  frequent  contributor 
to  periodicals,  and  was  the  author  of  a  number  of  books,  among  which  are  the 
following :  Grammar  of  the  English  language ;  Consumption  prevented ;  Robert

Life  and  Public  Services  of  Horace  Greeley,  1872;  Charles  Sumner.  Memoir  and 
Eulogies,  1874 ;  History  of  Pennsylvania,  1876. 

He  received  the  degree  of  LL.D.  from  Western  University  in  1863,  and  that

Dr.  Cornell  was  an  active  and  useful  member  of  this  society  for  many  years. 
He  served  as  Recording  Secretary  in  1858  and  1859,  and  during  the  same  years 
he  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors. 

Samuel  AxnERTON,  Esq.,  of  Dorchester,  a  life  member  of  this  society  since 
1871,  was  the  sixth  in  descent  from  Humphrey  Atherton,  who  came  from  Eng- 
land in  1630.  His  father  was  Samuel  Atherton,  a  prominent  citizen  of  Stough- 
ton,  Massachusetts,  where  his  son  Samuel  was  bom  January  26, 1815.  He  came 
to  Boston  sixty  years  ago  to  prepare  himself  for  business.  He  began  his  life 
here  as  a  clerk  In  a  shoe  store.  Four  years  later  he  was  employed  in  the  larger 
store  of  Caleb  Stetson.  A  year  later  he  was  admitted  to  the  firm  as  a  partner. 
In  1850  he  was  a  leading  member  of  the  firm  of  Atherton,  Stetson  &  Co.,  which 
took  a  place  in  the  front  rank  among  dealers  in  the  shoe  and  leather  trade.  Ho 
was  one  of  the  original  corporate  members  of  the  John  Hancock  Insurance 
Company,  and  he  has  been  a  director  since  1862,  and  a  vice  president  since  1874. 
He  was  a  director  in  the  National  Hide  and  Leather  Bank,  and  also  in  the  Mas-

He  represented  Dorchester  In  the  Legislature  in  1867,  1870  and  1877.  He  has 
long  been  known  as  one  of  the  most  substantial  and  honorable  business  men  of 
this  city. 

He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  society  June  1,  1870.  His  name  is 
found  among  the  liberal  subscribers  to  the  funds  of  the  society.  He  died  at 
his  home  in  Dorchester,  April  3,  1895. 

Rev.  Tryon  Edwabds,  M.A.,  D.D.,  of  Detroit,  Michigan,  was  bom  in  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  August  7,  1809,  and  died  in  Detroit  January  4,  1894. 

He  was  a  great  grandson  of  President  Edwards  of  Northampton.  The  first 
of  the  Edwards  family  in  this  country  was  William  Edwards,  who  came  from 
England  young  and  unmarried,  early  in  the  seventeenth  century.  His  son  was 
Richard  Edwards,  who  married  Elizabeth  Tuttle  of  New  Haven.  His  eldest

EOs  last  pastorate  was  at  Govemeur,  New  York,  from  1874  to  1679.  His  later 
years  were  passed  in  Detroit,  Michigan. 

Dr.  Edwards  was  a  man  of  great  ability,  very  extended  and  aecnrate  lAf onsft* 
tioa,  and  of  fine  presence,  with  the  manners  of  a  cultivated  genU^nan  of  tha 
old  school.  He  was  credited  by  his  friends  with  great  shrewdness,  which  oftot 
enabled  him  to  control  the  actions  of  men  in  carrying  out  his  plans.  As  aa 
author  he  attained  a  high  rank,  and  some  of  the  books  that  he  published  wtt 
have  a  permanent  place  in  American  literature. 

He  published  an  edition  of  the  complete  works  of  his  grandfather,  the  yoxmgim 
President  Edwards,  with  an  extended  memoir,  2  vols.,  1842 ;  A  memoir  of  Dv.

and  Youth,  1851;  The  World's  Laconics,  1852;  Wonders  of  the  World,  1861^1 
Light  for  the  Day,  1879 ;  and  a  number  of  other  books. 

He  received  the  degree  of  D.D.  from  Wabash  College,  Indiana,  1848.  He  mm 
elected  a  corresponding  member  of  this  society  September  1,  1847. 

WnxiAM  Edward  Covfim,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  a  life  member  of  this  Sodelv 
ainee  1870,  was  bom  in  Gloucester,  Massachusetts,  September  1, 1812,  and  died 
at  Savin  HUl,  Dorchester,  August  29,  1894. 

The  family  traces  its  descent  from  Peter  Coffin  of  Brixton,  County  of  Deven, 
England,  who  died  in  England  in  1628.  Tristram,  his  eldest  son,  was  born  la 
Brixton  in  1605.  He  married  Dionls  Stevens,  and  In  1642  emigrated  to  Ameriea* 
with  his  large  family.  He  lived  alternately  in  Salisbury,  Haverhill  and  Neiw- 
bury,  until  1659  when  he  removed  to  Nantucket,  where  he  died  in  1681.  His 
grandson,  Peter  Coffin,  came  from  Newbury  to  Gloucester  in  1688,  and  occupied 
a  tract  of  laud  that  his  father  had  purchased.  His  grandson,  also  named  Peter, 
lived  in  Gloucester  from  1747  till  his  death  in  1796.  He  was  one  of  the  leadii^ 
citizens  of  the  town,  an  active  patriot  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  tbe 
principal  acting  magistrate  in  tovm  for  many  years.  William  Coffin,  his  son* 
bom  in  1756,  was  an  esteemed  physician  in  Gloucester  for  nearly  half  a  centnrj* 
Edward  Langdon  Coffin,  son  of  Dr.  William,  was  a  shipmaster  in  Gloucester. 

His  son,  William  Edward  Coffin,  was  educated  in  the  schools  of  his  natlre 
town  of  Gloucester,  and  engaged  in  business  in  Boston.  He  became  Identlfled 
with  the  great  iron  industry,  in  the  days  when  the  city  was  aglow  w^lth  the  light 
of  furnace  fires.  He  was  easily  the  foremost  iron  manufacturer  of  Boston, 
ttiergetlc,  enterprising,  liberal  and  popular;  and  he  amassed  a  large  fortune. 
He  was  a  principal  owner  in  the  Boston  Machine  Company,  the  Pembroke  iron 
works,  and  the  Franconia  iron  works.  He  became  one  of  the  merchant  princes  of 
Boston.  By  a  series  of  misfortunes,  which  were  due  rather  to  the  changes  in 
the  course  of  the  iron  business  than  to  any  fault  or  failure  of  his  own,  he  lost 
his  fortune,  and  lived  in  narrow  circumstances,  through  a  peaceful  and  honored 
old  age.  He  bore  the  strange  reverses  of  fortune  v^th  remarkable  fortitude, 
and  continued  to  the  end  the  same  brave,  kind-hearted,  loyal  and  loving  gentle* 
man,  that  he  had  been  in  the  more  prosperous  years. 

He  was  one  of  the  early  anti-slavery  men,  a  personal  friend  of  Garrison, 
Phillips  and  Sumner,  and  a  generous  contributor  to  the  cause  of  freedom. 

He  married  Marguretta  Cotton,  daughter  of  Joseph  Cotton,  June  18,  1840. 

Iba  Joseph  Patch,  elected  a  resident  member  October  1, 1890,  was  bom  tn 
Salem,  April  27,  1835,  and  died  in  Salem,  June  6,  1894. 

Bir.  Patch  traced  his  descent  from  Nicholas  and  Jane  Patch  of  South  Pother* 
ton  (or  Pedderton)  in  the  hundred  of  that  name,  in  Somersetshire,  England. 
Nicholas^  son  of  Nicholas^  was  bom  in  South  Fetherton,  June  26,  1597,  and 
with  his  wife,  Elizabeth  (Owley),  whom  he  married  September  17,  1623,  cain« 
to  America  and  settled  in  Beverly,  Mass.  The  line  of  descent  from  Nicholas^ 
to  the  subject  of  this  record  is  as  follows :  Nicholas^,  Nicholas*,  James'  (baiH 
tized  in  Sooth  Fetherton,  September  18,  1626),  James^  (bom  in  Salem,  April  81, 
1655),  John*,  James*,  Joseph^,  Ira  Hamilton*,  Ira  Joseph*.

fore  completing  his  course  there,  Febraary  18, 1851,  to  be  employed  in  the  oflBoe  of 
the  Clerk  of  the  Courts  of  Sssex  Comity,  the  office  being  then  held  by  Ebenezer 
ShlllAber.  As  an  assistant  to  Mr.  ShlUaber  and  i^terwards  to  his  socceseor, 
Hon.  Asahel  Hantington,  he  recommended  himself  by  an  effldent  and  conscien- 
tions  discharge  of  his  duties.  In  1859  he  became  book-keeper  to  a  Boston  firm, 
Batchelder  &  Breed,  doing  a  large  business  in  shoe  findings,  with  whom  he 
remained  several  years,  carrying  more  than  the  usual  labors  and  responsibilities 
of  such  a  position  on  account  of  the  absence  of  the  senior  meml)er  of  the  firm 
In  the  army.  Wben  this  firm  dissolved  he  removed  to  8alem,  and  after  an 
Interval  became  the  manager  of  the  oflSce  of  the  Salem  iVera,  doing  a  printing 
business,  especially  in  the  lines  of  scientific  and  historical  literature.  This 
brought  him  into  close  relations  with  Dr.  Henry  Wheatland,  the  well-known 

fenealogist,  antiquarian,  and  President  of  the  Essex  Institute,  and  with  Prof, 
tederic  W.  Putnam  the  distinguished  archaeologist.  While  in  the  office  of  the 
Clerk  of  the  Courts  he  rendered  valuable  service  for  history  and  genealogy  **  by 
transcriblDg,  or  rather  translating,"  says  Abner  C.  Goodell,  Jr.,  Esq.,  '*the 
obscure  cbirography  of  the  early  records  of  Essex  County,  particularly  the 
file  of  the  witchcraft  trials.  The  copy  of  the  latter  now  used  in  the  clerk's 
office  is  in  his  handwriting;  and  to  him  W.  Elliot  Woodward  was  indebted  for 
the  *copy '  for  his  »  Record  of  Salem  Witchcraft,*  &c.,  printed  in  1864."  Mr. 
Patch  also  contributed  to  the  Historical  Collections  of  the  Essex  Institute,  ex- 
tracts from  the  first  book  of  records  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  for  the 
town  of  Salem,  and  similar  records  for  Lynn,  besides  al^tracts  of  wills,  inven- 
tories, &c.,  from  files  in  the  office  of  the  Clerk  of  Courts  in  Salem,  and  a  copied 
list  of  deaths  in  the  East  Church  of  Salem,  from  1785,  recorded  by  Rev.  Dr. 
Bentley .  His  large  acquisitions  made  in  these  seldom  traversed  ways  of  research 
caused  him  to  be  much  consulted  as  an  authority  in  genealogical  matters,  by 
members  of  Essex  County  families  for  a  dozen  miles  around ;  and  to  his  trust- 
worthy accuracy  and  thoroughness  many  family  histories  are  greatly  indebted, 
** notably  the  most  recent.  Dodge  genealogy";  while  his  own  family  lineage 
was  traced  out  both  lineally  and  in  its  branches,  with  marked  care  and  to  unu- 
sual fulness,  as  the  store  of  material  collected  and  left  by  him  amply  testifies. 

Mr.  Patch  was  by  nature  of  quiet  and  retiring  habits,  and  he  gladly  devoted 
to  bis  home  all  the  time  that  he  could  reserve  from  the  daily  exactions  of  busi- 
ness. He  courted  publicity  neither  for  himself  nor  for  the  results  of  his  labors. 
From  his  church  and  social  obligations,  however,  he  withheld  neither  time  nor 
service.  As  a  member,  first,  of  an  orthodox  church,  and  afterwards  of  the 
Wesley  (Methodist)  Church  in  Salem,  he  was  easily  and  naturally  recognized  in 
those  fellowships  as  one  on  whom  it  was  suitable  to  lay  large  and  responsible 
official  trusts.  Fond  of  music,  he  took  especial  satisfaction  in  the  choir  service. 
For  any  duty  required  of  a  faithful  citizen,  any  sympathy  asked  for  a  moral, 
social  or  charitable  enterprise,  he  could  be  counted  upon. 

Mr.  Patch  was  married  to  Harriet  Millett  Jackman,  June  27,  1861.  Of  their 
five  children  only  two  (daughters)  are  living.  Two  sons  of  promise  have  died : 
the  elder,  Harry  Hamilton,  under  specially  painful  circumstances,  having  been 
drowned,  August  16,  1880,  at  the  age  of  eighteen.  He  was  the  eldest,  bom 
August  23, 1862.  Lizzie  Miliett  was  bom  September  14, 1864 ;  Ira  Kdwin,  bom 
May  2,  died  October  13, 1878 ;  Hattie  Rust,  born  July  3, 1870,  died  the  same  day; 
Mabel  Abbot,  born  May  12,  1872.

Dudley  Foster,  Esq..  of  Billerica,  Mass.,  a  resident  member,  was  bom  In 
that  town  Nov.  15,  1809.  He  was  the  fourth  son  of  Samuel  and  Annie 
(Whitney)  Foster,  and  a  lineal  descendant  of  Reginald  Foster,  who  early  came 
to  Ipswich  from  England.  His  father  was  commissioned  captain  of  militia 
in  1812.  although  his  company  was  never  called  into  service,  and  was  honored 
in  1840  by  election  as  representative  to  the  Oeneral  Court.  His  grandfather, 
Joseph  Foster,  of  Beverly,  was  a  sea  captain  who  retired  to  a  farm  in  Billerica, 
and  his  great  grandfather,  Joseph,  was  prominent  in  his  day  as  town  clerk  of 
Beverly  and  deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church. 

Dudley  Foster  received  his  education  from  Pemberton,  afterwards  Billerica 
Academy,  then  under  tbe  care  of  the  Bev.  Bemard  Whitman.  When  quite 
young  he  learned  the  trade  of  shoemaking,  a  business  successfully  conducted 
at  that  time  by  his  father.    Soon,  however,  he  turned  bis  attention  to  insurance

this  capacity  for  a  period  of  forty  years.  He  was  town  derk  upwards  of  thirty 
years,  and  for  thirty-three  years  was  connected  with  the  Middlesex  Matoal 
Fire  Insarance  Company  of  Concord,  both  as  agent  and  director.  Mr.  Foster 
was  also  trustee  of  the  Lowell  Five  Cent  Savings  Bank,  and  the  last  of  the 
original  trustees  of  Howe  School,  appointed  by  its  founder  Dr.  Zadoc  Howe. 
He  was  for  many  years  the  respected  treasurer  of  this  institution,  and  by  his 
strict  integrity,  his  devotion  and  faithfulness  to  every  trust  committed  to  him, 
he  readily  won  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  his  townsmen,  was  repeatedly 
chosen  to  office,  and  became  the  custodian  of  many  private  as  well  as  pabllc 
properties.  Gen.  B.  F.  Butler  and  Hon.  Thomas  Talbot  were  numbered  amon^^ 
his  intimate  friends  and  life-long  acquaintances.  During  the  civil  war  he 
visited  Washington  on  important  business  for  the  state  and  town,  and  in  1898 
was  elected  representative  to  the  Legislature. 

His  first  wife  was  Louisa  Pollard,  whom  he  married  May  21,  1835.  She  was 
descended  from  Thomas  Pollard,  who  came  to  Billerica  from  Coventry,  Bng- 
land,  in  1692,  and  took  up  a  grant  of  land  on  the  Concord  River,  two  miles  to 
the  north  of  Billerica  Centre.  Asa  Pollard,  first  to  fall  at  Bunker  Hill,  was  m 
member  of  this  family. 

The  children  of  Mr.  Foster,  by  his  first  marriage,  are,  Frank  D.  of  Korth 
Andover,  and  John  Howard  Foster  of  Billerica.  August  28,  1884,  he  married 
Mary  Alice  Parker,  daughter  of  Daniel  Parker,  M.D.,  of  Billerica,  who  survives 
him. 

By  nature  Mr.  Foster  was  of  an  even  temperament,  in  manner  quiet  and  unas- 
suming. He  Inherited,  no  doubt,  the  sturdy  qualities  of  his  New  England 
ancestry — mens  sana  ineorpore  sano — and  was  seldom  known  to  be  out  of 
health  or  In  111  humor.  His  simple  habits  of  life  were  conducive  to  health  and 
happiness.  In  early  manhood  he  possessed  a  fine  tenor  voice  which  gave  him 
prominence  in  the  local  church  choirs  and  musical  circles. 

Along  with  gardening,  always  a  favorite  pastime,  he  cultivated  his  taste  for 
literature,  read  with  avidity  the  leading  magazines  and  newspapers,  took  a 
lively  interest  In  questions  of  political  and  historical  Importance,  and  In  this  way, 
even  to  the  latter  days  of  his  life,  kept  himself  well  informed  and  abreast  of  the 
times.  He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  the  N.  £.  Hist.  Oen.  Soclel^ 
April  6,  1878,  and  was  a  constant  attendant  upon  its  regular  meetings.  He 
attended  the  annual  meeting  of  the  society  in  1894.  His  death  occurred  suddenly 
January  3,  1895,  and  his  burial  took  place  the  Sunday  following,  with  quiet 
ceremony,  from  his  late  residence,  the  homestead  of  the  Foster  family,  in  Bil* 
lerica.

1861,  when  It  again  had  to  bow  to  adverse  circumstances.  However,  as  he  was 
a  man  of  untiring  energy  and  great  plucklness,  he  made  a  third  fortune  before 
the  decade  had  passed,  when  he  retired  from  active  business,  becoming  Inter- 
ested In  some  successful  and  some  unsuccessful  railroad  enterprises.  His 
interest  In  the  politics  of  the  south  and  west  parts  of  Boston,  where  he  had  his 
residence,  was  always  unselfish  yet  warm.  In  the  William  Henry  Harrison 
campaign  he  *'took  the  stump  for  the  Whig  candidate."  Genial  and  social, 
energetic  and  charitable,  he  drew  about  himself  many  friends.  He  was  nMU>>

William  Gordon  Mbaks,  a  life  member,  was  bom  at  Amherst,  New  Hanqn 
shire,  on  the  27th  of  April,  1815,  son  of  David  liiacGregor  and  Catherine 
(Atherton)  Means.  He  was  a  great-grandson  ot  Thomas  Means,  of  Stewarts- 
town,  county  Tyrone,  Ireland.  His  grandfather.  Col.  Robert  Means,  was  a 
weaver  from  the  north  of  Ireland,  who  established  himself  in  business  In 
the  town  of  Amherst,  N.  H.,  where  he  enjoyed  a  long  and  successful  career  as 
merchant,  colonel,  representative  and  town  officer  in  various  capacities.  One  of 
his  daughters  became  wife  to  Hon.  Jeremiah  Mason,  and  another  wife  to  Preslr 
dent  Appleton  of  Bowdoin  College.  Mr.  Means*s  father  succeeded  his  father 
in  business  at  Amherst  and  had  an  equally  successful  career,  as  colonel  in  the 
militia,  representative  to  the  legislature,  town  official  and  justice  of  the  peace. 

Mr.  Means's  education  was  obtained  in  the  common  schools  of  his  native  town 
and  at  the  Finkerton  academy  at  Derry,  N.  H.  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  came  to 
Boston  and  served  as  a  clerk  in  mercantile  business  for  seven  years.  His  apti- 
tude for  his  chosen  life-work,  an  inheritance  from  an  unusually  capable  ancestry, 
immediately  gave  him  prominence  among  the  young  merchants  of  Boston,  ana, 
when  the  Amoskeag  Manufacturing  Company  was  established  at  Manchester, 
N.  H.,  he  was  elected  clerk.  He  accepted  the  situation,  removed  to  the  new 
city,  and  there  remained  in  active  discharge  of  important  duties  till  1859.  In 
1854,  he  resigned  his  clerkship  and  became  treasurer  of  the  Manchester  (N.  H.) 
Locomotive  Works,  which  he  held  till  his  death.  While  a  citizen  of  Manches- 
ter, Mr.  Means  served  as  an  alderman  of  the  city  and  as  Its  representative  in 
the  legislature.  In  1858,  he  was  elected  treasurer  of  the  Salmon  Falls  (N.  HO 
Manufacturing  Company.  As  the  duties  of  these  treasurershlps  made  his  hush' 
ness  largely  in  Boston,  where  the  offices  were  located,  Mr.  Means  removed  his 
residence  to  Andover,  Mass.,  and  ultimately  to  Boston,  where  he  died  on  tlie 
4th  of  January,  1894.  In  1882,  being  elected  president  of  the  Salmon  Falls 
Manufacturing  Company,  he  resigned  the  treasurershlp  of  that  corporation- 
He  was  for  many  years  a  director  In  the  New  England  bank. 

Mr.  Means  was  elected  a  member  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical 
Society,  March  5, 1878,  and  a  life  member  in  1882.  From  1884  to  1889,  he  serred 
the  Society  as  a  director. 

Prominent  and  influential  as  Mr.  Means  was  in  the  fleld  of  business,  as  a  finan- 
cier, and  in  the  management  and  disposition  of  large  monetary  Interests  Intrusted 
to  him,  wherein  his  integrity  and  fidelity  walked  hand  In  hand  with  his  industry 
and  sagacity,  he  was  endeared  to  his  friends  by  his  generous  Impulses  and  hla 
unselfishness.  He  was  a  well  informed  observer  of  public  events ;  well  read  in 
the  history  of  his  country  and  her  public  men ;  unswerving  In  his  devotion  to 
the  predominant  political  party  of  his  section ;  earnest  for  the  establishment  of 
sound  ethics  in  the  popular  mind ;  and  ready  with  his  service  and  his  purse  to 
forward  measures  which  he  conceived  to  be  just.  This  Christian  gentleman 
exhibited  a  diligence  in  business,  a  wisdom  In  charities,  a  friendly  regard  for 
all  beneficiaries,  which  made  his  acquaintance  and  friendship  dear  to  many  who 
will  cherish  his  memory  so  long  as  life  endures.

His  early  life  was  spent  upon  his  father's  farm  In  Hampstead,  and  he  at- 
tended the  district  school  of  Hampstead  until  seventeen  years  old,  when  he 


1 895 . ]  Book  Notices.  359 

entered  Atkinson  Academy,  and  after  a  term  of  study  there  went  to  Phillips 
Academy  at  Andorer,  where  he  fitted  for  college.  He  entered  Eburvard  at  the 
age  of  twenty-two,  and  graduated  in  1846,  in  the  class  with  Charles  Eliot  Nor- 
ton, George  F.  Hoar,  Fitz-Edward  Hall,  and  many  other,  since  famoos,  men. 
He  soon  after  entered  the  Harvard  Medical  School,  from  which  he  graduated 
in  1850,  and  soon  entered  upon  his  practice  as  a  physician,  and  continued  in 
practice  till  his  death.  Dr.  Eastman  was  active  in  public  aflkirs  in  various 
directions.  He  was  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  represented  his  ward.  No.  17, 
in  the  Legislature  in  1882  and  1883.  He  was  infiuential  in  educational  matters 
also,  and  served  on  the  School  Committee  for  eleven  years.  He  was  interested  in 
the  charitable  work  of  the  city,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Overs3ers  of 
the  Poor  for  three  years,  and  held  tibe  office  of  Dispensary  Physician  for  five  years, 
and  of  Warden  four  years.  He  was  also  a  director  of  the  Howard  Benevolent 
Society,  and  a  distributing  agent  of  its  charity  for  more  than  thirty  years.  He 
was  deeply  interested  in  historical  studies,  and  was  faithful  in  his  attendance, 
and  useful  In  his  service  to  this  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  He  was  also 
a  life  member  of  the  Webster  Historical  Society.  Ever  ready  to  take  part  in 
the  advancement  of  moral  and  religious  life,  he  served  in  the  Old  South 
Church  as  Superintendent  of  the  Sunday  School  for  six  years,  was  an  active 
member  of  that  church  from  1857  to  his  death,  and  held  a  life  membership  in 
in  the  Toung  Men's  Christian  Association,  and  the  American  Sunday  School 
Union.  He  was  tenderly  and  reverently  attached  to  his  pastor.  Rev.  Dr. 
George  A.  Gordon,  whose  visits  and  kindly  ministrations  in  his  last  days  were 
a  great  comfort  to  him.  He  was  Chaplain  of  Biass.  Lodge  of  Free  Masons  for 
many  years.  He  was  an  earnest  advocate  of  all  real  civil  and  social  reforms,  a 
member  of  the  Mass.  Total  Abstinence  Society,  and  an  efficient  officer  of  tiie 
Law  and  Order  League. 

In  these  various  directions  of  activity  Dr.  Eastman  was  always  helpful, 
holding  his  positions  for  service  and  not  simply  for  the  honors.  Honorable 
tribute  to  his  memory  is  paid  in  the  Necrology  of  the  Congregational  Club  for 
1892,  and  he  will  be  long  remembered  by  many  outside  his  own  social  circle  and 
family,  who  have  been  helped  by  his  hand  and  cheered  by  his  counsels. 

Dr.  Eastman  married  Mrs.  Clara  Augusta  Eastman  of  Chelsea,  widow  of  Mr. 
Joseph  Leonard  Eastman  (bom  Oct.  4,  1818.  died  Aug.  10,  1864)  and  daughter 
of  George  and  Abigail  (Hanson)  Clark.  She  survives  him.  He  has  one  son 
living— Edmund  Chase  Eastman,  who  in  1888  married  Mary  Bassett  of  Chelsea

The  original  edition  of  this  valuable  work  was  published  in  1831,  sixty-four 
years  ago,  at  Clarksburg,  Virginia.  Mr.  Thwaites  says  in  his  Preface  to  this 
edition  :  '*  The  author  was  a  faithful  recorder  of  local  tradition.  Among  his 
neighbors  were  sons  and  grandsons  of  the  earlier  border  heroes,  and  not  a  few 
actual  participants  in  the  later  wars.  He  had  access,  however,  to  few  contem- 
porary documents.  He  does  not  appear  to  have  searched  for  them,  for  there 
existed  among  the  pioneer  historians  of  the  West  a  respect  for  tradition  as  the

prime  source  of  information  which  does  not  now  obtain :  to-day  we  desire  first - 
to  see  the  documents  of  the  period,  and  care  little  for  reminiscences,  save  wheo 
it  fills  a  gap  in  or  illuminates  the  formal  record."  Mr.  Thwaites  adds :  *'  The 
weakness  of  the  traditional  method  is  well  exemplifled  in  Withers's  work." 

The  deflciences  of  Mr.  Withers's  work  have  been  amply  supplied  by  the  late  Dr. 
Lyman  C.  Draper,  whose  life-long  and  successful  work  in  collecting  materials 
for  Western  history  is  well  known.  In  1890  he  was  engaged  by  the  Robent 
Clarke  Company  to  prepare  and  edit  a  new  edition  of  Withers.  As  '*  the  best 
living  authority  on  the  details  of  Western  border  history,"  he  was  well  qualified 
for  the  task.  He  l>egan  his  work  with  Interest,  but  on  the  26th  of  August,  1891,

The  History  of  Florence,  Massachusetts.  Including  a  Complete  Account  of  the 
Northampton  Association  of  Education  and  Industry,  Illustrated.  Edited  Inr 
Charles  A.  Sheffeld.  Florence,  Mass. :  Published  by  the  Editor.  1895. 
8vo.,  pp.  260.    Price  $2.60. 

*'  Three  years  ago,"  writes  the  editor  in  the  preface  of  this  work,  **a  book 
Illustrating  the  attractions  of  the  village  was  conceived,"  and  '*  as  no  one  could 
be  found  to  contribute  an  adequate  historical  sketch,  the  writer  reluctantlj 
assumed  the  task."  That  he  faithfully  carried  out  his  conception ,  both  in  the 
Illustrations  and  the  history,  the  book  before  us  gives  ample  evidence.  lUas- 
trations  of  the  choicest  bits  of  Florence  scenery,  mingled  with  the  likenesses 
of  the  men  and  women  who  have  made  Florence  what  it  is,  are  profusely  scat- 
tered throughout  the  book.  The  first  chapters,  devoted  to  the  settlement  and 
early  history  of  the  place,  exhibit  the  result  of  considerable  research.  The  book 
begins  to  be  of  more  than  local  interest  in  the  seventh  chapter,  which  treats  of 
the  mulberry  fever  and  silk  enterprise.  The  history  of  the  Northampton  Com- 
munity, as  given  by  Mr.  Sheffeld  in  chapters  eight  and  nine,  forms  an  important 
contribution  to  the  history  of  socialism  in  New  England.  Part  two  of  this 
work  consists  of  reminiscences  of  old  Community  times,  the  religious  and  edu- 
cational history  of  Florence,  biographies,  and  sketches  of  the  present  industrial 
interests,  written  by  various  authors.  The  book  is  neatly  printed  on  good 
paper  and  makes  an  attractive  volume.  L.  H.  G. 

Beport  on  Canadian  Archives.  By  Douglas  Brymner,  Archivist.  (Being  an 
Appendix  to  Report  of  the  Minister  of  Agriculture.)  Ottawa.  1883-1893. 
11  volumes.    8vo.    Various  pagings. 

In  1871,  at  the  request  of  a  large  number  of  writers  and  other  interested  per- 
sons, the  Canadian  Parliament  established  under  the  direction  of  the  Minister 
of  Agriculture  a  department  of  Historical  Archives.  Mr.  Douglas  Brymner,  a 
native  of  Scotland  but  for  many  years  a  resident  of  Canada,  was  selected  to  organ- 
ize the  new  department.  The  choice  of  an  archivist  was  an  excellent  one.  Mr. 
Brymner  began  with  empty  rooms  in  1872,  and  in  less  than  a  quarter  of  a  century 
has  brought  together  an  exceedingly  valuable  collection. 

Copies  of  the  Haldimand  Papers  form  the  most  important  part  of  Mr.  Brym- 
ner*s  collection.  The  original  papers,  in  232  volumes,  were  given  to  the  British 
Museum  in  1857.  They  were  gathered  by  Sir  Frederick  Haldimand  while  Gov- 
ernor and  Commander-in-Chief  of  Canada  (1778-1784),  and  are  made  up  largely 
of  correspondence  and  documents  relating  to  the  period  of  the  Revolutionary 
War.  The  material  in  this  collection  is  of  as  much  value  to  the  historians  of 
the  United  States  as  to  those  of  Canada. 

The  Bouquet  Papers — a  collection  of  30  volumes,  also  in  the  British  Museum, 
— ^have  also  been  copied.  These  papers  cover  the  period  from  1754  to  1765,  and 
contain  much  information  about  Bouquet's  military  operations.  The  State 
Papers  of  Upper  and  of  Lower  Canada,  with  a  large  amount  of  miscellaneous 
matter,  make  up  the  balance  of  the  Canadian  Archives. 

The  annual  reports  of  the  archivist  consist  chiefly  of  calendars  of  the  above 
mentioned  papers.

Besides  the  catalogues  of  the  Trustees,  the  Teachers,  and  the  Students  of 
Lawrence  Academy  for  the  first  hundred  years  of  its  existence,  the  work  before 
us  contains  accounts  of  the  celebration  of  its  ninetieth  anniversary,  June  21, 
1883,  and  of  its  centenary,  June  17,  1893.  The  academy  was  organized  and 
opened  early  in  1793,  and  was  incorporated  by  the  State  of  Massachusetts  Sep- 
tember 25  of  that  year.  Its  roll  of  graduates  includes  the  names  of  many  who 
have  been  distinguished  in  the  various  walks  of  life. 

On  the  25th  of  February,  1846,  the  name  of  the  institution  was  changed  to 
the  *'  Lawrence  Academy  of  Groton,**  liberal  donations  having  been  received 
from  the  brothers,  William  and  Amos  Lawrence,  of  Boston. 

At  the  first  celebration  in  1883,  an  Alumni  Association  wns  formed,  with  Dr. 
Samuel  A.  Green  of  Boston  as  president,  and  Judge  William  A.  Richardson  of 
Washington  as  first  vice  president.  The  association  has  done  much  to  bind  the 
scattered  graduates  together  and  to  increase  the  prosperity  and  usefulness  of 
the  academy.  The  speeches  at  both  these  celebrations  were  worthy  of  the 
theme,  and  revived  many  reminiscences  of  earlier  days  of  the  institution.  Among 
the  present  officers  of  the  Association  are  the  Hon.  Byron  B.  Johnson,  of 
Waltham,  who  is  president,  and  George  A.  Sanderson,  Esq.,  of  Littleton, 
Secretary.

Boundaries.    House  Document  No.  868 — 1895.    8vo.  pp.  22. 

We  have  here,  in  convenient  form,  certified  copies  of  the  joint  resolution  of 
the  New  Hampshire  legislature ;  the  report  of  the  Massachusetts  Commission- 
ers, covering  the  agreement  with  the  authorities  of  New  Hampshire  and  of  Ver- 
mont; the  joint  resolution  of  the  Massachusetts  legislature;  and  the  report  of 
the  Massachusetts  surveyor.  In  connection  with  the  earlier  reports  of  1887, 
1889  and  1891,  it  presents  a  full  history  of  the  negotiations,  discussions  and 
contentions  relating  to  the  northern  boundary  of  Massachusetts,  as  decreed 
by  the  king.  The  value  of  the  surveyor's  report  would  have  been  increased  if 
he  had  given  the  full  names  of  gentlemen,  whom  he  records  as  Mr.  Cromacks, . 
Mr.  Howe,  Mr.  Whithed  and  the  late  Mr.  Belding. 

A  photograph  of  the  monument,  erected  on  the  site  of  the  boundary  pine,  can 
be  seen  at  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical  library.

This  book  shows  the  result  of  exhaustive  research,  and  the  careful  comparison 
of  the  facts  obtained.  It  would  be  well  if  there  were  more  such  clear,  exact 
and  definite  contributions  to  the  history  of  our  country.  The  author  not  only 
gives  an  interesting  account  of  his  ancestor,  Major-General  John  Paterson,  but 
his  work  takes  a  much  wider  scope  than  that  of  the  biogn^hy  of  a  single  man ; 
it  is  in  many  ways  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  history  of  the  Revolutionary 
War,  throwing  as  it  does  much  light  upon  the  great  struggle  for  liberty »  It 
seems  to  me  that  this  period  of  our  history  cannot  be  too  fully  dwelt  npoaby 
our  historical  writers.  It  was  a  time  of  momentous  importance  to  our  fore- 
fathers, and  also  to  the  worid  at  large,  for  this  great  struggle  for  indepeodenoe 
again  enunciated  the  grand  principle  of  civil  and  religious  liberty  (the  inharit-  • 
ance  of  all  English-speaking  peoples)  contained  in  liagna  Charta,.and  which 
then  seemed  in  danger  of  being  swept  away.  As  all  our  colonial  history  leads 
up  to  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  so  the  continual  re-assertion  of  the 
principle  of  liberty  (of  civil  and  religious  freedom  under  the  law  of  the  land) 
therein  contained  Is  the  only  safeguard  of  our  continued  existence  a»  a  free  and 
Independent  nation.

This  is  an  interesting  paper  read  by  Rev.  Dr.  Bradlee  at  a  meeting  of  fhe 
** Boston  Association  of  Ministers"  held  in  Boston,  Jannary  14,  1896.  Tbe 
readers  of  the  Register  will  be  interested  in  this  paper,  giving  the  recollecttons 
of  one  who  for  nearly  forty  years  has  been  a  member  of  our  Society,  who  has 
held  important  offices  in  it,  and  who  has  been  a  valued  contributor  to  the  Rsois- 
TER.  Dr.  Bradlee's  ministerial  life  has  been  passed  in  Boston  and  its  vicinltj 
and  his  reminiscences  embrace  the  chief  Unitarian  ministers  and  their  churches 
during  the  last  forty  years,  and  he  gives  graphic  descriptions  of  them.  Dr.  Brad- 
lee's life  has  been  passed  in  doing  good  and  is  characterized  by  zeal,  faithful- 
ness and  benevolence.  Appended  to  the  paper  is  an  account  of  the  private 
celebration  of  the  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  doctor's  ordination,  whidli  took 
place  December  11,  1894.    Other  interesting  matter  is  added.

The  Midway  Church,  a  Congregationalist  society,  whose  records  are  here 
printed,  is  a  perpetuation  of  the  colony  that  left  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in  1696, 
under  Rev.  Joseph  Lord,  and  settled  in  South  Carolina  at  a  place  near  Charles- 
ton, which  they  named  Dorchester.  A  letter  to  Judge  Sewall  from  Rev.  Joseph 
Lord,  the  pastor  of  the  church,  dated  '*  Dorchester  in  Carolina,  May  25,  1706," 
is  printed  in  the  Register,  vol.  xiii.,  pages  299  to  800.  There  is  an  unprinted 
diary  extant  kept  by  Elder  William  Pratt,  who  was  a  member  of  the  Dorches- 
ter S.  C.  Church,  but  after  several  years'  residence  there  returned  to  New  Sng- 
land  and  became  pastor  of  the  church  at  Eastou,  Mass.,  where  he  died  in  1718. 
The  diary  is  in  an  almanac  printed  in  1691,  and  now  belongs  to  Prof.  Josiina 
Eddy  Crane,  of  Bridgewater,  Mass. 

In  1752,  the  church  and  colony  removed  to  Midway,  Liberty  County,  Georgia. 
The  records  here  printed  begin  in  1754.  They  arc  edited  by  Rev.  James  Staqy, 
D.D.,  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  church  at  Newnan,  Geor^a,  a  son  of  the  Mid- 
way church.  Dr.  Stacy  says :  *'  As  the  original  Records  of  the  Carolina  church 
seem  hopelessly  lost  and  the  Midway  records  begin  simply  with  an  account  of 
the  persons  received,  we  have  no  means  of  determining,  with  anything  like 
accuracy,  the  precise  number  of  the  original  members."  The  church  celebrated 
its  centenary,  December  6,  1852,  an  account  of  which  is  printed  here.  Dr. 
Stacy  has  added  much  other  historical  matter  relating  to  the  church  and  colony. 
We  understand  that  if  sufficient  encouragement  is  received  he  will  print  a  second 
volume  containing  the  remaining  recor£,  and  also  write  a  fuller  history  of  the 
old  church.  We  commend  the  work  to  New  England  readers,  who  will  find 
much  of  interest  in  its  pages.  '*  The  Dead  Towns  of  Georgia,"  by  Hon.  Charles 
C.  Jones,  LL.D.,  printed  In  the  fourth  volume  of  the  Collections  of  the  Georgia

the  Dorchester  and  Midway  colonies.

volume  on  the  Gould  family.  Dr.  Gould  began  his  researches  on  the  history  o1 
his  family  over  forty  years  ago.  During  that  time  he  has  been  indefatigable  li 
his  researches,  employing  much  of  his  leisure  on  the  work.  Town,  church  tak 
county  records  in  New  England,  as  well  as  English  records,  have  been  labor!' 
ously  and  extensively  examined.  In  1870,  before  leaving  for  South  Ameria 
where  he  spent  fifteen  years,  he  prepared  an  abstract  of  the  information  thei 
acquired,  which  he  left  with  Dr.  Henry  Wheatland,  president  of  the  Essex  Instt 
tute,  in  the  Collections  of  which  Society  it  was  printed  in  instalments  and  li 
1872  appeared  as  a  pamphlet  of  100  pages.  Since  his  return  to  this  country  h4 
has  continued  his  investigations,  which  he  has  preserved  in  the  volume  befon 
OS.  He  has  traced  the  ancestry  of  Zaccheus  Gould  to  Thomas  Gould  of  Bot< 
ingdon,  Hertfordshire,  who  was  bom  probably  not  later  tlian  1455.  Manj 
details  about  the  family  in  England  have  been  secured.  The  descendants  oi 
Zaccheus  Gould  have  been  quite  thoroughly  traced  and  are  here  printed.  Othei 
families  of  the  name  are  appended.  The  book  is  clearly  arranged  and  wel 
indexed.  It  is  handsomely  printed  and  is  illustrated  by  facsimiles  of  andenl 
documents,  and  a  map  showing  the  land  of  Zaccheus  Gould  in  Topsfleld  anc 
houses  of  other  early  settlers.  The  book  is  an  admirable  one  and  Dr.  G<>ulc 
has  done  a  noble  work  for  the  family. 

The  Marsh  Genealogy,  the  next  on  onr  list,  Is  also  a  superior  genealogy.  Thi 
author.  Rev.  D wight  Whitney  Marsh,  D.D.,  of  Amherst,  Mass.,  has  been  a  lon| 
time  collecting  materals  relating  to  the  name,  and  he  has  had  the  assistance  oi 
the  Marsh  Family  Association,  of  which,  for  several  years,  he  was  president 
and  the  proceedings  at  the  gatherings  of  which  arc  printed  In  this  volume.  Tbn 
book  makes  a  beautiful  volume  of  over  five  hundred  pages.  Much  labor  hai 
evidently  been  bestowed  upon  it,  and  the  result  is  a  very  thorough  record  ol 
the  descendant  of  John  Marsh,  the  stirps  of  this  family,  and  a  considerabli 
amonnt  of  Information  about  the  name  in  England.  The  book  is  well  indexed 
It  is  illustrated  by  eighteen  fine  engravings,  of  which  sixteen  are  portraits. 

The  next  book  is  by  Lieutenant  Ripley,  U.  S.  N.,  author  of  the  IngersoUs  o: 
Hampshire,  noticed  by  us  in  April,  1894.  This  volume  gives  the  ancestor 
of  Lieut.  Thomas  Tracy,  the  emigrant  ancestor  of  the  New  EngUmd  Tracys 
but  not  his  descendants.  Much  research  has  evidently  been  bestowed  upon  it 
The  author  shows  that  the  Norwich  settler  inherited  the  blood  of  many  hlstori 
families  and  of  many  prominent  personages  in  the  various  walks  of  life. 

The  Breed  Genealogy  Is  by  J.  Howard  Breed,  of  Philadelphia.  It  is  a  wel 
compiled  and  well  printed  volnme  of  over  200  pages,  and  contains  a  good  recon 
of  the  descendants  of  Allen  Breed,  an  early  settler  of  Lynn,  Mass.  One  o 
these  descendants  resided  at  Charlestown  and  gave  name  to  the  Hill  on  whic 
the  engagement  generally  known  as  the  Battle  ox  Bunker  Hill  was  fought.  Th 
book  is  well  Indexed. 

The  Maltby-Morehouse  book  was  prepared  by  the  late  George  EUswort 
lialtby  of  New  Haven,  who  intended  to  embrace  in  it  genealog^  of  Bosai 
Morehouse  and  Brown,  besides  Maltby,  but  his  sudden  death  prevented  lU 


1895.]  Becent  PublieaiioM.  365 

finishing  more  than  the  portion  relating  to  Haltby,  a  limited  edition  of  which 
has  been  privately  printed  for  his  widow,  Mrs.  Georgia  Lord  (Morehonse) 
Maltby.  We  hope  tliat  Mrs.  Maltby  will  see  that  the  material  collected  for  the 
other  three  parts  is  completed  and  published  at  some  f  atnre  time.  The  boolc  is 
well  compiled  and  makes  a  handsome  volume.    It  has  a  good  index. 

The  '*  Items  of  Ancestiy  "  by  Mrs.  Ida  M.  Robinson,  of  New  York  city,  con- 
tains the  lineage  of  the  author  and  her  husband  in  twenty-two  families,  namely : 
Robinson,  Frost,  Akerman,  Jackson,  Tuttle,  Otis,  Bailey,  Nutter,  Pickering, 
Adams,  Bass,  Alden,  Sherburne,  Knight,  Chapman,  Tracy,  Stanbery,  DeGroot, 
Steele,  Thacher,  Partridge  and  Fuller.  The  book  seems  to  be  carefully  compiled, 
evidencing  careful  and  comprehensive  research,  and  presents  a  very  large 
amount  of  new  matter  of  value  and  interest  to  a  large  circle  of  readers  descended 
from  the  various  families.    It  is  well  printed,  and  has  an  unusually  full  index. 

The  work  on  the  Biacra  family  was,  as  stated  on  the  title-page,  written  in  1704 
and  transcribed  in  1786.  This  pamphlet  was  printed  a  few  years  ago  at  the 
private  press  of  Colin  Biacrae,  of  Camden,  S.  C.  Appended  is  a  brief  account 
of  the  family  of  Dachmaluack.    Much  interesting  matter  is  preserved  here. 

The  leaflet  on  the  Achnagart  family  was  also  printed  by  Mr.  Macrae,  of  Cam- 
den.   It  is  dated  June  1,  1878. 

The  Pierson  pamphlet,  we  are  told  in  the  preface,  **  represents  the  woriL  of 
over  twenty-five  years,  in  which  the  author  has  given  to  it  all  the  time  he  could 
spare  **  from  his  business.    It  is  a  valuable  work. 

The  Hawes  pamphlet,  which  is  an  address  before  the  New  York  Genealogical 
and  Biographical  Society,  preserves  much  information  about  the  Hawes  famUj 
and  particularly  about  Edward  Hawes,  an  early  settler  of  Dedham,  Bfass.,  and 
his  descendants.  It  is  well  written,  handsomely  printed  and  is  eml>elUshed 
with  a  flue  portrait  of  Lieut.  Joseph  Hawes,  who  served  in  the  Revolution. 

The  Hartwell  pamphlet  is  by  the  author  of  the  Hand-Book  of  the  Hartwell 
Genealogy,  published  in  1887  and  noticed  by  us  at  the  time.  Mr.  Densmore 
Intends  to  prepare  a  history  of  the  Hartwells,  which  will  make  a  volume  of  about 
one  thousand  pages.  The  price  will  be  f  10.  Subscribers  are  requested  to  send 
$5  with  their  subscriptions,  the  balance  to  be  paid  subsequently.  We  hope  he 
will  have  a  large  list  of  subscribers. 

The  Grecnough  and  Israel  pamphlet  is  by  Franklin  Piatt,  of  Philadelphia.  It 
is  '*  strictly  confined  to  the  direct  ancestor  in  each  generation,  brothers  and 
sisters  and  their  descendants  being  entirely  ignored."  It  is  well  written  and 
well  printed. 

The  next  work,  the  pamphlet  on  the  Stewart,  Elliott  and  Dunwody  families, 
is  an  Interesting  account  of  those  families,  with  a  brief  notice  of  the  Sta^ 
family. 

The  next  pamphlet,  on  the  Bellinger  and  De  Yeaux  f  amiUes,  is  by  the  same 
author  as  the  last,  Joseph  Gaston  Bulloch,  M.D.  Like  that  pamphlet,  this  is  a 
well  written  performance. 

The  Thomas  pamphlet  is  a  reprint  from  the  Rbqistkb  for  April  1895,  as  is 
also  Mr.  Williams's  pamphlet,  **  Correction  in  the  Pedigree  of  the  Cotton  Family." 
The  Fitzpen  als.  Phippen  pamphlet  is  reprinted  from  Mr.  Waters's  Gleanings  in 
the  same  number.

my  father  and  my  three  children.  I  appoint  my  friends  Mr.  James  Sherlej 
and  Mr.  Richard  Androwes  for  executors  and  my  good  firiend  and  broths 
Mr.  Thomas  White  and  Mr.  John  Stubbe  for  orerseers.  Swann,  86. 

[The  above  recalls  another  of  Mr.  Waters's  Gleanings,  which  contained  three 
well-known  Salem  names,  viz. :  **  Thomas  Gardener,  citizen  and  grocer  of  Lon- 
don ;  23  Ang.  1590,  proved  24  Oct.  1590 ;  wife  Katherine,  cosen  John  Gard^ier, 
sons  Thomas,  Christopher  and  Jeremy,  cosens  Richard  Grafton,  Henry  PiclDHr- 
ing  and  others.    Dmry  L.  69.*^ 

The  name  of  Pickering  is  f  onnd  floarishing  in  London  at  least  one  hnndred 
years  before  the  emigration  to  New  England ;  also  at  that  period  and  stiU  later. 
The  name  f  reqnently  appears  in  the  parish  rq^ters  of  London,  printed  by  tbs 
Harleian  Society,  and  the  Visitation  of  London  gives  a  brief  pedigree  of  one 
branch  of  the  family. 

There  were  two  John  Pickerings  here  in  New  England  who  f  onnded  famUiea, 
viz. :  John  Pickering  of  Portsmouth  who  is  said  to  have  settled  there  in  1688,  and 
John  Pickering  of  Salem,  of  which  place  he  was  admitted  an  Inhabitant  **  7  of 
12  mo.  1686."  John  Pickering  of  S&lem  was  a  carpenter  and  was  bom  in  161S 
and  died  in  1657.  We  do  not  find  the  date  of  birth  of  John  Pickering  of  Ports- 
month,  bnt  we  infer  that  it  occurred  not  far  from  the  time  of  his  contemporary. 
In  the  middle  and  southern  states  we  find  that  the  name  existed  at  a  somewhift 
later  date.  There  was  a  Charles  Pickering  who  was  a  merchant  of  Philadelphia 
in  1689,  and  there  were  persons  of  the  name  in  Charleston,  South  Carolinat  in 
the  early  part  of  the  last  century .f  There  was  also  a  family  of  Pickeringa 
settled  in  the  parish  of  St.  Lucy,  Barbados,  sometime  before  A.  D.  1700.  A 
representative  of  this  family,  the  Rev.  Joseph  Pickering  of  .Wickham,  Hampahlitt, 
England,  corresponded  with  Col.  Timothy  Pickering  on  the  subject  of  the  fimflj 
history  and  claimed  Idnship  when  he  found  that  the  Salem  family  and  his  own 
used  the  same  coat-of-arms. 

The  above  will  of  Edward  Pickeringe,  of  course.  Is  only  suggestive.  From  Itv 
it  appears  that  in  1623  his  son  John  Pickeringe  was  a  child  and  probably  was 
bom  not  far  from  1615,  the  date  of  birth  of  John  Pickering  of  Salem  in  New 
England.  Harbison  ELLsnT.] 

John  Marsh  of  Branktry,  Essex,  clothier,  15  April  1627,  proTed  29

Joshua  Winthrop  (horn  July  10, 1659,  died  March,  1626)  was  eldest  son  of 
William  Winthrop,  uncle  of  Gov.  John  Winthrop  of  Mass.  (For  a  letter  of 
this  William  Winthrop  to  Foxe,  the  martyrologist,  see  1  Proceedings  Mass. 
Hist.  Soc,  vol  XV.,  pp.  262-8.)  Joshua  Winthrop,  like  his  father  before  him, 
was  in  business  in  London,  where  he  married  Anne,  daughter  of  Vincent  Nor-

rington,  mercer,  and  sabseqaently  settled  at  Bandon,  in  the  sonth  of  Ireland, 
where  he  died.  He  left  at  Least  one  child,  '*  Joshaa  Wlnthrop  the  yoanger,  of 
The  MidchelU,  near  Bandon,  gent.,"  who  administered  his  father's  estate  ia 
April,  1626,  one  ''Thomas  Harrison,  gent.,"  joining  in  the  bond.  Nothing 
more  has  been  ascertained  concerning  this  yonnger  Joshna  Winthrop,  bat  the 
Irish  branch  of  the  Winthrop  family  is  supposed  to  descend  from  him. 

It  does  not  appear  which  of  these  two  Joshaa  Winthrops  is  the  one  referred 
to  as  *'  brother-in-law  "  in  the  will  of  John  Whittingham,  1619 ;  but  it  was  prob- 
ably the  elder  Joshaa,  and  it  would  seem  that  one  or  other  of  the  wives  of 
Whittingham  must  have  been  a  Norrington. 

It  may  be  added  that  the  elder  Joshua  had  a  brother,  Adam  Winthrop,  fourth 
of  that  name,  and  two  sisters— Elizabeth,  wife  of  Rev.  Humphrey  Munning* 
Rector  of  Brettenham,  co.  Saffolk,  and  Sarah,  wife  of  John  Frost,  of  Bary  St. 
Edmunds.  The  last  named  sister  is  recorded  to  have  died  in  1603,  so  that  she 
could  not  have  l)een  '*  Sara  my  nowe  wife,"  mentioned  by  Whittingham  in 
1619.  Robert  C.  Winthrop,  Jr.3

Of  these  Thomas  married  Judith  daughter  of  William  Denham  of  London,  and 
had  issue  John,  Denham  and  Thomas  Hunlock.  No  Francis  is  given,  and  this 
statement  is  confirmed  by  the  will  of  Henry  Hunlocke  the  elder  (just  referred 
to)  who  in  1610  speaks  of  John,  Denham  and  Thomas  as  the  three  sons  of  *'  my 
cousin  Thomas  Hunlocke."  As  the  Heralds*  Visitation  was  made  in  1611,  the 
year  after  the  date  of  that  will,  I  would  suggest  that  Francis  Hunlocke,  the 
painter  stainer  of  London,  though  probably  a  brother  of  John,  Denham  and 
Thomas,  was  not  bom  until  after  that  pedigree  was  entered.  H.  F.  W.]

[It  seems  evident  that  Mrs.  BulUey  was  not  a  daughter  of  Richard  Buckland. 
While  hunting  up  the  BucUands  I  had  also  looked  for  the  name  Overton,  on  the 
assamptlon  that  Mrs.  Bose  Buckland  aU  Beawe  belonged  to  a  family  of  that 
name.  Among  the  wills  which  I  found  was  the  following,  which  I  have  no 
doubt  is  the  will  of  Krs.  Bulkley's  maternal  grandmother  and  godmother. 
There  still  remains  to  look  up  the  Xrbye  or  Irl^  ccnuieetlon. — H.  F.  W.]

mercy  that  anything  may  be  left  for  my  poor  children  when  I  consider  my 
late  losses  in  the  firing  of  London,  most  humbly  acknowledging  the  right- 
eousness of  God  in  that  sore  judgment  and  that  my  sins  were  very  great 
incentives  of  it  and  mightily  helped  to  draw  down  that  desolation  on  my 
self,  neighbors  and  the  whole  city.  I  give  my  plate  &c.  to  all  my  three 
children,  equally  to  be  divided.  My  desire  is  that  my  son  John  be  main- 
tained in  the  place  where  he  now  is  in  Oxford  until  he  be  Master  of  Arts

decease.  I  hope  he  will  be  helpful  to  his  two  sisters,  my  two  daughters 
Lydia  and  Mary.  To  my  said  son  John  all  my  right,  title,  interest  and 
term  of  years  in  a  close  or  piece  of  meadow  or  pasture  ground,  commonly 
called  Overall  Close,  in  the  parish  of  Neene,  which  I  desire  him  to  accept 
in  full  of  what  he  shall  or  may  claim  by  virtue  of  the  Custom  of  the  City 
of  London,  in  regard  his  estate  will  far  exceed  either  of  his  sisters,  he  to 
give  a  release  of  all  such  claim  within  twenty  days  after  he  shall  attain  the 
full  age  of  one  and  twenty  years.  To  my  said  two  daughters  (evidently 
minors).  If  all  my  three  children  die  before  their  respective  age  or  mar- 
riage I  give  my  children's  portions  to  my  nephew  Thomas  Thompson.  I 
give  to  my  nephew  Thomas  Thompson  twenty  pounds  to  be  paid  at  the 
expiration  of  his  indentures  of  Apprenticeship,  or,  if  he  be  desirous  to  go 
over  to  his  mother  to  New  England,  then  at  such  time  as  shall  be  thought 
fit  by  my  executor,  to  whose  care  and  service  I  commit  him  for  the  remain- 
der of  the  time  of  his  indentures.  To  my  niece  Beatrice  Thompson  five

OCTOBER,  1895. 
GENERAL  EDWARD  AUGUSTUS  WILD. 

By  B&ADFORD  KnroMAN,  Esq.,  of  Brookline,  Mass. 

Gen.  Edwasd  AueusTUS  Wild,  the  scm  of  Dr.  Charles  and 
Mary  Joanna  (Rhodes)  Wild,  was  the  second  son  and  third  child 
of  his  parents ;  bom  in  Brookline,  Norfolk  County,  Mass.,  Novem- 
ber 25,  1825.  At  the  time  of  his  birth  his  father  had  entered  upon 
a  successfiil  career  in  medical  practice,  having  graduated  from  the 
Harvard  Medical  College  in  Boston.  In  1818  he  took  up  his  resi- 
dence in  Brookline,  at  that  day  a  small  but  thrifty  &rming  conunu- 
nity.  At  first  he  became  an  inmate  of  the  family  of  a  IVLrs.  Croft, 
on  Washingt(m  street,  who,  upon  finding  the  young  doctor  was  suc- 
cessful in  his  profession,  gave  him  about  two  acres  of  land  on  the 
south  side  of  die  same  street  on  which  she  resided,  and  nearly  oppo- 
site her  residence,  on  which  he  immediately  erected  a  dwelling- 
house,  it  being  the  elegant  ground  and  mansion  adjoining  on  the 
east,  the  well-known  "  George  Baty  Blake  estate."  Here  he  con- 
tinued in  practice  for  about  forty  years,  when  the  same  passed  into 
the  hands  of  Dea.  William  Lincolii,  and  later  to  Stephen  D.  Ben- 
nett, Esq.,  and  now  owned  by  the  heirs  of  Arthur  H.  Blake. 

It  was  on  this  beautifiil  spot,  lavished  by  nature  with  beauty,  and 
cultivated  by  man,  that  the  subject  of  our  sketch,  whose  name  is  at 
the  head  of  this  article,  first  saw  the  light  of  day.  His  early  youth 
was  passed  under  the  influence  of  a  christian  home  and  careful  train- 
ing, and,  not  unlike  many  others  in  his  day,  brought  up  to  habits 
of  industry,  attending  such  schools  as  the  town  afforded,  and  the 
classical  school  on  Boylston  street.  He  fitted  for  college  under  tibe 
private  instruction  of  Dr.  Samuel  Sogers  of  Boxbuiy ;  entered  Har- 
vard College  in  1840,  graduated  in  1844,  having  among  his  ekss^ 
VOL.  xlh.        85 


406  Edward  Augustus  Wild.  [Oet. 

mates  the  following  persons :  John  Call  Dalton,  Professor  of  I%y- 
siology  and  Fellow  of  the  American  Academy ;  Benjamin  Apihorp 
Goold,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Astronomy ;  Francis  Parkman,  I2L.D., 
Historian ;  Hon.  Leverett  Saltonstall,  the  late  Collector  of  the  port 
of  Boston;  Prof.  Daniel  D.  Slade,  LL.B.,  now  Professor  of 
Zoology  at  Harvard  College,  and  his  friend  Tappan  Enstis  Francis, 
M.D.,  of  Brookline. 

He  received  the  degree  of  A.B.  in  due  course,  and  A.M.  in  1847 ; 
studied  medicine  with  his  father  and  in  the  office  of  Benjamin  Biddy 
Cotting,  M.D.,  of  Roxbury,  also  at  the  Harvard  Medical  College 
in  Boston.  He  also  took  a  course  of  medical  study  at  Jefferson 
College,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  where  he  received  the  degree  of  M.D. 

He  began  the.  practice  of  his  profession  in  Brookline  in  1847,  and 
became  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society  May  23, 
1850.  Aiming  at  the  highest  honors  in  his  profession,  he  crossed 
the  Atlantic  in  1848  to  visit  the  schools  of  Europe,  attending  lec- 
tures and  the  practice  of  hospitab  in  Paris.  While  there  he  started 
on  a  pedestrianizing  tour  through  Italy  and  Switzerland.  Italy  at 
that  time  was  torn  with  a  threefold  war;  Rome  was  contending 
against  Naples ;  then  came  the  invasion  and  occupation  of  Bome 
(which  had  then  been  temporarily  a  Republic),  while  the  north  of 
Italy  was  in  active  turmoil  and  strife  against  the  Austrians.  At  the 
Romano-Neapolitan  frontier  Dr.  Wild  was  arrested  and  closely 
searched  by  the  troops  on  both  sides  of  the  line,  each  taking  him 
for  a  spy  for  the  opposite  side. 

At  Terracina  he  was  taken  before  Garibaldi,  then  in  command, 
who  very  quickly  discerned  his  true  character  and  liberated  him. 
At  Forli  in  the  Romagna  he  was  arrested  as  an  Austrian  spy, 
mobbed  and  roughly  maltreated,  and  had  a  fortunate  escape  with 
his  life.  On  Lake  Garda  he  was  arrested  at  midnight  as  a  robber, 
and  up  the  River  Po  seized  as  a  deserter  from  the  Austrian  army, 
and  had  many  other  exciting  experiences,  some  neither  safe  nor 
agreeable.  The  experience  he  met  with  during  this  excursion  gave 
him  the  first  ideas  of  the  horrors  of  war  and  the  destructive  effects 
of  battles  and  bombardments. 

On  the  first  day  of  January,  1850,  Dr.  Wild  returned  to  Brook- 
line and  resumed  the  practice  of  his  profession  as  a  homceopathic 
physician,  where,  with  his  enlarged  experience  and  superior  qualifi- 
cations, he  soon  displayed  proofs  of  the  maturity  of  his  talents. 
Here  he  continued  till  June  12,  1855,  at  which  time  he  united  in 
marriage  with  Frances  Ellen,  daughter  of  John  Whiting  and  Marian 
(Dix)  Sullivan  of  Boston,  and  upon  learning  of  a  declaration  of 
war  in  the  Crimea  he  immediately  takes  his  bridal  tour,  sailing 
direct  for  Constantinople.  Immediately  upon  his  arrival  at  that 
port  he  tendered  his  services  to  the  Turkish  Government,  and  re- 
ceived a  commission  as  (Hekimbashi)  Surgeon  of  Artillery,  with 
the  rank  and  pay  of  lieutenant-colonel,  and  assumed  the  name  of 


1895.]  JEdward  Augustus  Wild.  407 

^  E[holou887  Bey."  In  the  course  of  his  professional  duties  he  vis- 
ited the  ports  of  Samsoun,  Sinoub  (Sinope),  Trebizond,  Batoum, 
Bedout  Ealeh  (Kemhal),  £[aleh. 

He  was  attached  to  the  army  corps  of  Omar  Pasha,  Conmiander- 
in-Chief  of  the  Turkish  forces  in  the  field,  and  passed  the  winter 
near  Sokhoum  in  the  foot  hills  of  the  Caucasus,  occupying  the  hos- 
pital buildings  captured  from  the  Russians.  After  peace  was 
arranged  he  continued  in  charge  of  extensive  hospitab  for  several 
months  at  Trebizond,  where  were  gathered  the  numerous  sick  and 
disabled,  the  residuum  of  the  war.  On  leaving  the  service,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  war  medal  (Sefer  Nishani)  he  received  from  the  Sultan 
Abdul  Medjid  the  decoration  of  the  Medjidieh,  with  its  accompanying 
Berat  (diploma),  together  with  an  autograph  letter  from  Omar 
Pasha,  recommending  him  for  that  high  honor. 

After  a  long  tarry  at  Constantinople,  Dr.  Wild,  accompanied  by 
his  wife,  visited  Trebizond  and  the  banks  of  the  Bosphorus,  and 
the  gulf  of  Nicomedia  (Isnikmid),  the  islands  in  the  Marmora 
(Prinkipo),  and  the  Troad.  Betuming  homeward  he  visited 
Greece  and  the  Isles  of  the  Archipelago,  stopping  at  Malta  (where 
he  was  initiated  into  Free  Masonry,  taking  three  degrees  in  **  St. 
John's  Lodge"),  Sicily,  and  a  long  time  in  Italy,  in  1857. 

Immediately  upon  his  arrival  home  he  resumed  the  practice  of 
his  profession,  in  which  he  was  successftil,  and  was  fast  growing  in 
popularity,  giving  to  the  public  the  benefits  of  an  extended  experi- 
ence in  military  hospitals,  as  well  as  the  more  complete  study  of 
medicine  in  the  hospitals  at  Paris. 

For  ten  years  prior  to  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  of  rebellion. 
Dr.  Wild  had  a  natural  fondness  for  military  drill  and  had  been  an 
active  member  of  the  Independent  Corps  of  Cadets  in  Boston,  and 
had  never  missed  a  single  drill.  When  the  demand  came  from  the 
government  for  men  to  assist  in  protecting  our  country  from  the 
assaults  on  the  liberties  of  the  people,  the  doctor  was  not  only  fully 
prepared,  but  he  commenced  to  prepare  others  for  actual  service  in 
the  field. 

Dr.  Wild  was  a  highly  intelligent  gentleman,  and  had  a  ftdl 
appreciation  of  what  must  ensue  at  an  early  date.  A  full  company 
was  raised,  of  men  mostly  from  BrookUne  and  Jamaica  Plain, 
through  the  efforts  and  instrumentality  of  Dr.  Wild,  who  was  com- 
missioned as  captain  of  the  same  by  Governor  John  A.  Andrew, 
May  22,  1861.  In  this  service  the  captain  was  assisted  by  the 
untiring  zeal  and  patriotism  of  two  of  Brookline's  noble  young  men 
who  were  fired  with  military  ardor,  and  these  three  men  did  the 
country  valiant  service.  We  need  only  mention  the  names  of  the 
two  who  assisted  in  recruiting  men  for  the  army — Col.  William  L. 
Candler,  who  received  a  first  lieutenant's  commission  May  25, 
1861 ;  and  Col.  Charles  L.  Chandler,  a  second  lieutenant's  com- 
mission on  the  same  day.     The  last  named  became  a  captain  in  the 


iOS  Edioard  Augu9in$  Wild.  [Ooi* 

Thirty-fourth  Regiment  Auglist  6,  1862,  EeatemuitHX)l<niri  of  For- 
tieth Regiment  January  24,  1864,  and  of  the  Fifty-seven^  Regi- 
ment April  20,  1864.  Lieut.  Col.  Chandler,  while  in  batfle  near 
Hanover  Court  House,  fell  mortally  wounded  May  24,  1864,  and 
was  kindly  eared  for  by  CoL  Harris  of  the  Twelfth  Missisdppi 
Regiment,  and  was  boried  near  the  scene  of  action^  The  Grand 
Army  Post  of  Brookline  perpetuates  the  name  of  Col.  Charles  L. 
Chandler  by  naming  the  same  in  his  honor,  while  the  other  grand 
soldier.  Col.  Candler,  merited  the  warmest  praise  and  the  regards  of 
his  countrymen  for  his  various  and  arduous  services  to  his  county. 
He  became  a  colonel  and  member  of  the  staff  of  the  famous  GeMi^ 
Joseph  Hooker,  with  whom  he  was  on  the  most  intimate  tsttoB  of 
firiendship. 

The  company  above  mentioned  was  entitled  Company  A,  and 
fonned  a  part  of  the  First  Massachusetts  Regiment  of  Volunteers, 
and  was  the  first  company  and  the  first  regiment  of  the  three  years' 
troops  from  the  loyal  states  to  go  to  the  seat  of  war.  The  head- 
quarters of  this  regiment  at  first  was  in  Faneuil  Hall,  Boston,  firom 
May  25  to  June  1, 1861^  when  they  removed  to  ""  Camp  Ellsworth," 
in  Cambridge,  and  afterwards,  June  13,  again  removed  to  ^  Camp 
Cameron,''  and  on  the  following  day  received  orders  to  march. 

The  Brookline  company  were  all  ready  for  service,  and  anxiously 
waiting  for  orders. 

On  the  afternoon  of  June  15,  1861,  the  regiment  took  up  its 
line  of  march  for  Boston  with  the  thermometer  at  80  degrees,  the 
men  dressed  in  thick  soldiers'  uniforms.  The  scene  on  the  com- 
mon in  Boston  on  that  memorable  day,  is  stiU  vivid  in  the  minds  of 
thousands  of  persons  who  were  present ;  the  parting  of  friends,  the 
shaking  of  hands,  and  the  farewell,  make  it  seem  as  almost  of 
yesterday ;  now  the  drum  calls,  every  ear  attends.  The  regiment 
marches  to  the  Providence  Railroad  station,  where  Alderman  Pray 
presents  them  with  a  handsome  national  banner  in  behalf  of  the 
citizens  of  Boston.  At  nine  o'clock  p.m.  seventeen  finely  decorated 
passenger  cars  with  four  baggage  cars,  drawn  by  two  powerful  loco- 
motives, started  on  their  journey  amid  the  wildest  enthusiasm.  At 
Providence,  they  were  saluted  and  welcomed  by  a  detachment  of 
the  Marine  ArtUlery.  Arriving  at  Grroton,  Cotm.,  they  embarked 
on  the  steamer  *'  CommonWeakh."  Here  the  guns  of  "  Fort  Trum- 
bull" poured  forth  their  welcome.  Arriving  at  Jettsey  City  on 
Sunday  afternoon,  they  proceeded  to  the  seat  of  war,  passing 
through  Baltimore  on  the  17th  of  June,  being  the  first  regimeiit 
that  had  passed  through  that  city  since  the  attack  on  the  Sixth  Regi- 
ment the  19th  of  Apnl  previous.  At  twelve  o'clock  on  the  21st  of 
June,  the  regiment  formed  in  column  and  marched  up  the  Avenue 
and  were  reviewed  by  President  Lincoln,  and  went  into  '^Camp 
Banks"  oil  the  Potomac.  On  the  17th  of  July,  the  regiment 
formed  a  part  of  the  Army  of  Virginia  and  were  in  advalkce§  to

attack  the  enemj.  After  being  engaged  in  the  battles  of  Bull  Bon 
and  WilliamBburgh,  and  seyeral  leaser  oombats,  including  the  siege 
of  Yorktown,  Captain  Wild  was  permanently  disabled  by  a  bullet, 
in  the  right  hand  which  was  badly  shattered,  in  the  battle  of  ^  Seven 
Pines,"  on  the  field  of  Fair  Oaks,  Ya.,  June  25,  1862.  Betuming 
to  Massachusetts,  he  could  not  remain  idle ;  the  fire  of  patriotism 
was  still  burning  within  him,  and  in  a  short  time  he  reported  for 
duty.  He  was  placed  in  command  of  ^  Camp  Stanton,"  a  camp  of 
recruits  at  Lynnfield,  Mass.,  and  while  there  was  promoted  by  regu- 
lar grades  to  Colond  of  the  Thirty-fifth  Massachusetts  Begiment  of 
Volunteers,  August  20,  1862.  Only  two  days  later,  there  having 
been  a  demand  for  finesh  troops  at  Washington,  he  returned  to  the 
capitol,  with  his  arm  in  a  sling  from  his  wounds,  at  the  head  of  his 
regiment.  His  fine  appearance  on  horseback,  as  he  passed  through 
the  streets  of  Boston,  is  well  remembered  by  the  writer.  Nothing 
of  particular  interest  occurred  on  the  journey  firom  Boston  to  the 
seat  of  war,  except  the  following  incident  at  Philadelphia,  which 
we  give  from  the  Colonel's  own  report  to  the  Governor  of  Massa*-- 
chusetts: 

''  Id  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  tJoion  Volanteer  BefreshmeDt 
Salooo,  where  we  were  supplied  with  a  meal  by  the  hospitality  of  the  citi^ 
sens,  there  are  a  large  Domber  of  drinking  shops,  which  have  been  a  pes# 
to  every  regiment  passing  through.  I  personally  ordered  the  proprietor  of 
each  establishment  to  sell  no  liquor  to  my  men,  warning  him  of  conseqaences  ; 
at  the  same  time  setting  a  guard  at  his  door.  Soon  after,  detecting  them 
enticing  men  in  at  back  doors,  to  drink  and  fill  canteens,  I  ordered  the 
stock  to  be  cleaned  out  at  two  places,  a  hotel  and  a  saloon.  The  order 
was  summarily  and  thoroughly  carried  out  by  my  men.  No  serious  per* 
sonal  violence  was  committed,  although  we  had  occasion  to  overawe  a  large 
party  of  Zouaves  and  other  bullies.  The  police  followed  me  with  two 
writs  of  arrest,  which  I  declined  to  accede  to ;  but  warned  them  that,  if  they 
caused  us  any  delay,  I  should  be  obliged  to  take  aldermen  and  all  with  me 
to  Washington.  AH  thb,  not  from  any  wanton  disrespect  for  municipal 
law,  but  on  the  ground  that,  in  time  of  armed  rebellion^  the  exigeaeies  of 
the  military  service  must  take  precedence  of  all  else." 

Nothing  was  ever  heard  fit>m  this  afterward,,  although,  the  Celonel 
was  followed  to  Washington.  In  three  weeks'  time  he  was  in  front 
of  the  enemy,  in  Major  General  Bumsidels-  Corps,  and  engaged  in 
a  fierce  battle  at  South  Mountain.  At  half  past  four  in  the  after- 
noon, September  14,  1862,  he  was  ordered.^- clear  the  extensive 
forest  of  sharpshooters,  a  very  rough  gixmnd.  Wliile  engaged  in 
this  work,  they  were  unexpectedly  attacked.upon  a  podtion  held  by 
their  brigade,  in  the  dusk  of  the  evening*.  It  was  .here  that  Colond 
Wild  lost  his  left  arm  by  the  explosion  oS  a  shell,  badly  shattering 
the  same,  which  was  amputated  at  the  sboulder,  aft^r  tfaj!ee  surgiciu 
operations.  On  that  day,  and  three  days  later,  his  new  r^jiment

troops.     General  Schouler  writes:    **Few,   if  aiqr,  siirpuB  tht 
Thirty-fifth  Regiment,  especially  in  its  officers.'' 

When  Colonel  Wild  had  partially  recovered  from  the  loss  of  his 
arm,  he  returned  home,  December  1,  1862,  and  while  recoyering 
firom  his  wounds  assisted  Goyemor  Andrew  in  organizing  colored 
troops,  the  pioneer  work  in  that  line.  On  the  24th  of  April,  1863, 
he  was  appointed  by  President  Lincoln  a  Brigadier  General  o^ 
Volunteers,  and  soon  after  proceeded  to  North  Carolina,  where  lie 
raised  a  brigade  of  colored  troops  from  among  the  ftigitive  slayei 
in  that  department,  having  his  headquarters  at  Newbeme ;  and  it  is 
needless  to  say  he  was  entirely  successftd  in  organizing  his  ^  Corps 
D'Afrique,"  known  as  *"  Wild's  African  Brigade."  While  thei^  he 
gave  much  time  and  labor  to  the  care  and  permanent  proyision  of 
the  colored  families  by  colonizing.  On  the  30th  of  July  the  General 
took  a  large  number  of  raw  colored  troops  to  South  Carolina,  where 
they  did  valuable  and  valiant  service  in  the  siege  of  Charleston* 
Three  months  later,  leaving  his  troops  at  Charleston,  he  returned  to 
his  recruiting  work  at  Newbeme,  N.  C,  also  in  Virginia,  Jan.  18, 
1864.  General  Wild  was  placed  in  command  of  the  district  of 
Norfolk  and  Portsmouth,  which,  besides  his  military  labors,  involved 
large  civil  duties  in  the  government  of  those  two  cities  as  Governor, 
filled  as  they  were  with  a  hostile  population. 

Upon  the  opening  of  the  campaign,  in  the  spring  of  1864,  hm 
early  in  May  joined  the  Army  of  &e  James,  in  command  of  his 
colored  troops,  where  he  continued,  participating  in  the  siege  againat 
Petersburgh  and  Richmond  until  their  fidl. 

During  the  last  three  months  he  was  in  command  of  a  division 
containing  three  brigades  of  infantry,  besides  cavalry  and  artillery, 
heavy  and  light — this  being  a  portion  of  the  Twenty-fifth  Army 
Corps,  composed  wholly  of  colored  troops. 

On  the  3d  of  April,  1865,  he  entered  Ridimond  at  the  head  of 
his  troops,  as  *'  Jefi*'*  Davis  went  out ;  many  of  the  slaves  originally 
recruited  by  the  General  being  the  first  to  enter  those  sacred  pre- 
cincts. At  the  close  of  the  warlike  operations,  he  served  in  the 
Freedman's  Bureau  in  Georgia,  and  was  finally  mustered  out  of 
the  United  States  Service,  January  15,  1866. 

The  General  finding  himself  too  much  crippled  to  return  to  the 
practice  of  his  former  profession,  he  turned  his  attention  to  mininff^ 
his  experience  and  travels  embracing  the  fields  of  Nevada,  CaU- 
fomia,  Utah,  Colorado,  and  Lake  Superior  (Canada  side). 

It  is  due  to  General  Wild  to  say  that  when  he  first  enlisted  into 
the  Army,  he  enjoyed  the  highest  esteem  and  confidence  of  all  who 
were  acquainted  with  him  in  his  Massachusetts  home.  Particularly 
did  he  enjoy  the  confidence  of  Governor  Andrew,  who  was  a  warm 
personal  friend,  during  the  Bebellion.  When  he  entered  the  service, 
his  experiences  in  the  Turkish  army  were  of  great  value  to  him. 
The  General  was  of  an  impulsive  nature,  ftdl  of  patriotism  and 


1895.]  Bdtoard  Augustus  Wild.  411 

intense  enthusiaamy  and  gave  his  entire  powers  to  the  service*  His 
record  confirms  all  the  statements  made,  and  one  who  knew  him 
intimately  says  of  him,  that  **His  bravery  was  only  paralleled 
by  his  almost  womanly  modesty.''  No  better  evidence  of  the  tmth 
of  the  above  statements,  and  of  his  bravery,  than  at  **  Wilson's 
Wharf  "  on  the  James  river,  Virginia.  While  in  the  command  of  an 
important  outpost  at  the  above  locality,  he  was  surrounded  by  a 
greatly  superior  force  of  cavalry  under  the  command  of  Major 
Genend  Fitz  Hugh  Lee,  and  was  sunmioned  to  surrender,  in  the 
following  language: 

^  By  commaDd  of  Major^GeDeral  FiU  Hugh  Lee,  I  am  seot  to  denuuid  a 
•urreuder  of  the  Federal  troops  at  Wilton's  wharf.  He  rCreiieral  Lee) 
thinks  he  has  troops  enough  to  carry  the  position.  Should  they  surrender 
they  will  be  tamed  oyer  to  the  anthorities  at  Richmond  and  treated  as 
prisoners  of  war.  Should  they  refuse.  General  Lee  will  not  be  responsible 
for  the  consequences. 

Very  respectfully  your  obt.  servt, 

R.  J.  Mason,  Muffor  and  A.  A.  6. 
To  Brig.-General  YHld,  commanding  Federal  troops.^ 

The  reply  of  Greneral  Wild  was  returned,  in  the  following  laconic 
manner: 


«i 


We  will  try  it— Edw.  A.  Wild,  Brig.- Gen.  Vob:' 


And  try  it  they  did,  and  the  Union  Army  was  victorious,  saving 
an  important  position  to  the  ^  Army  of  the  James.^  The  fimmess 
and  equanimity  of  the  mind  of  the  General  was  one  of  his  leading 
characteristics.  Fear  did  not  enter  his  mind  to  prevent  him  from 
carrying  out  his  purposes ;  indeed  it  has  been  often  said  of  him  that 
he  did  not  know  the  definition  of  the  term.  His  mind  was  ever  on 
the  duty  to  be  performed,  and  stopped  not  to  weigh  the  risk  attend- 
ing the  same.  He  had  the  greatest  disregard  of  self,  and  was  of  a 
vivacious  turn,  enlivening  all  company  into  which  he  entered,  which 
rendered  his  society  peculiarly  welcome  to  both  sexes.  Kindness 
beamed  in  his  countenance,  and  benevolence  warmed  his  heart.  He 
was  ever  kind,  courteous  and  affable,  and  in  his  profession  the  highr 
est  motive  of  his  mind  was  to  relieve  the  suffering  of  humanity  oy 
his  skill,  and  every  duty  was  performed  with  dfdicacy,  as  weU  as 
with  tenderness.  His  friendship  was  firm  and  confiding.  In  his 
tastes  simple,  and  averse  to  all  hollow  pretensions  and  ceremonial 
observances.  He  was  a  good  scholar  and  distinguished  as  a  mathe- 
matician, and  a  fiivorite  in  his  class.  He  was  especially  fond  of 
music,  and  helped  to  furnish  the  music  on  the  big  bass  viol  in  the 
church  choir,  as  well  as  taking  a  deep  interest  in  band  music. 

Afler  the  Greneral  had  lost  his  arm  at  the  battle  of  South  Moun- 
tain, twenty  of  his  college  class  presented  him  with  an  elegant  dress 
sword  of  the  r^rolation  pattern,  elegantly  chased  and  giUed,  with

ThoM  who  remember  General  Wild  as  a  citizen  regarded  him  as 
one  of  strict  integrity,  a  manly  and  good  man.  Says  one  who  knew 
him  well,  and  was  his  neighbor,  companion  and  friend : 

"  lis  WM  a  marked  and  origioal  character,  tme  to  his  convictions  on  all 
oocaalofiiif  the  parffonificatlon  of  devotion  to  priociple,  a  man  of  faith;  he 
would  liavo  died  a  martyr  for  any  cause  he  believed  in  and  espoused.  He 
was  a  loader  of  men,  and  called  about  bim  kindred  spirits  in  his  devotion 
to  freedom  and  his  country." 

Not  only  was  the  General  a  ffood  and  brare  soldier,  but  the  ex* 
ample  to  his  men  was  of  the  best.     Prominent  among  his  many 

Sod  qualitios  was  that  of  enforcing  principles  of  abstinence  fit>m 
9  use  of  intoxicating  liquor.  In  uiis  he  set  an  example  by  his  own 
entire  disuse  of  liquor  or  any  kind.  During  his  whole  service  in 
the  Unitod  States  Army  ho  never  touched  any  intoxicants,  even  to 
A  glans  of  oilier  or  beer. 

TlioMO  to  whom  his  words  of  comfort  and  cheer  in  the  hours  of 
sickness  liiive.  done  so  nmcli,  remember  liim  with  the  kindest  affec- 
tion, while  those  under  wlioso  cnro  they  were  as  soldiers  in  the 
army  nil  unite  to  speak  of  him  in  the  warmest  terms  as  a  brave  and 
good  oftieer. 

Mueh  mi^ht  be  said  of  his  humorous,  attractive,  and  many  social 
qualities,  of  his  fondness  for  having  a  good  time  with  all  which  that 
term  applies.  Iliiving  no  bad  Imbits,  he  was  much  sought  after 
when  tneiv  was  any  fun  for  the  boys  and  young  men.  He  was 
always  pivsent  at  the  lively  times,  and  never  was  happier  than 
when  he  eould  ^  run  with  the  maelune  **  to  a  fire ;  and  when  there 
was  a  eonflagnition  in  the  village,  and  he  was  not  there,  it  was 
lH>eA\iiie  he  was  not  at  home ;  or,  if  there  was  a  wedding,  he  felt  it 
his  duty  to  help  in  ohei>ring  the  newly-married  couple  by  a  serenade. 

(Jvneral  WihU  after  leaving  the  mining  o|>erations  in  which  he 
\vmI  Ihvu  ongagtHl,  was  invited  to  join  a  ][>arty  of  exploration,  and

Medillin.  In  this  entefptise  the  tropical  dimate  and  the  exoesdye 
heat  were  too  much  for  one  used  to  out  northern  clime,  and  espe- 
cially at  his  time  of  life.  His  residence  south  was  short,  being  lesa 
than  a  month,  and  on  the  28th  of  August,  1891,  he  passed  over  the 
river,  amid  warm  and  loving  fiiends,  although  away  firom  his  home, 
who  did  all  that  could  have  been  to  cheer  and  help  him  in  his  last 
hours.  Personal  and  official  services  were  fireely  tendered  at  his 
decease  by  the  American  Vice  Consul,  the  Governor  and  other 
officers  of  State,  well  knowing  that  they  were  doing  honor  to  a 
fi^ood  man  and  a  s^allatit  officer.  He  Was  buried  with  military  and 
masonic  honors,  ^er  a  militaiy  eacoit,  and  the  funeral  rit^were 
performed  amid  a  large  concourse  of  firiends,  including  the  Governor 
and  officers  of  the  State,  who  paid  the  honor  due  to  his  station. 
Kind  friends  laid  wreaths  and  garlands  on  Us  coffin,  and  thus  the 
last  tribute  of  respect  and  regard  for.  a  distinguished  man  was  paid^ 
and  we  can  only  r^ret  that  our  old  firiend,  citizen,  physician,  cap- 
tain, colonel,  and  general,  could  not  have  ended  his  last  hours  near 
the  early  associations  of  his  life.  He  now  tests  in  quiet  seclusion 
at  Medellin,  Columbia,  South  America.

In  a  previous  issue  of  the  Registeb  (xlviii.,  446),  may  be  fotmd 
a  transcript  of  some  entries  found  in  the  diary  of  Rev.  William 
Homes,  contributed  by  myself,  and  I  have  extracted  these  whidi 
follow  from  the  body  of  the  book,  as  previously  described.  They 
were  aU  which  I  found  to  be  of  a  general  interest,  and  were  inte^ 
spersed  among  the  usual  entries  of  his  texts  i  sermons  and  religious 
ireflections. 

On  the  twenty  first  of  Jaly  Anno  1715  being  Thursday  about  two  of  the 
clock  in  the  morning  Thomas  Mayhew  Esqa'  of  Chilmarke  departed  this 
life  he  had  been  for  several  yeares  troubled  with  the  distemper  called  the 
kings  evil  by  which  he  was  brought  neere  the  gates  of  Death  but  by  some 
applications  made  to  him  by  an  Indian  doctor  he  recovered  so  far  that  he 
was  able  to  rid  abdut  and  look  after  his  afikirs,  but  in  the  latter  end  of  the 
spring  or  begining  of  summer  this  year  he  was  suddenly  taken  with  a  stopag

of  hU  nrine  and  a  violent  pain  in  his  right  leg,  after  some  time  his  left  leg 
swelled  pretty  much  yet  the  paiiie  coDtinned  in  the  other  leg,  hy  the  use  of 
means  the  stopag  of  his  urine  was  removed,  yet  the  other  symptoms  oon- 
tinued.  After  some  time  there  came  a  doctor  to  the  Island  that  thon^t 
the  swelling  and  pain  in  his  legs  might  be  removed  by  bathing  and  sweath- 
ing,  which  preceded  accordingly  in  some  measure,  but  after  some  time  the 
swelling  proceeded  upwardly  and  he  was  siesed  with  an  inwerd  fever  and 
shortness  of  breth  which  prevaild  upon  him  till  it  carried  him  off.  Hk 
nostril  and  throat  grew  so  sore  some  days  before  he  died  that  he  could  not 
speak  so  as  to  be  understood,  he  was  a  man  of  good  sense  considering  his 
education  and  seemed  to  be  piously  inclined  tho  he  did  entertain  some 
singulare  opinions  in  religion. 

On  the  fifteenth  of  7ber  [1715]  I  was  installed  in  the  pastorate  office  ii^ 
the  congregation  of  Chilmarke  there  were  then  bnt  two  members  of  that 
church  that  wer  men,  viz  Nathan  Skiffe  and  Benjamin  May  hew  that  day 
M'  Experience  May  hew  who  was  formerly  a  member  of  the  Indian  chunji

this  church.  On  the  second  of  October  M'  Nathan  Basset  &  M'  Ja:  AUea 
were  added  to  ye  church  here  and  were  both  baptized  that  day. 

On  the  9th  of  8ber  1715  were  baptized  six  of  m'  James  Allen  his  chil-

Itown  he  perceived  m'  John  Aliens  boy  lying  in  the  path,  and  when  he 
came  near  to  him  he  found  him  dead ;  it  seems  he  had  fallen  before  the 
wheels  and  could  not  recover  himselfe  till  the  cart  went  over  him.  they 
found  that  the  wheel  had  gone  over  the  hinder  part  of  his  head,  had  broken 
his  skull  and  pressed  his  face  in  the  ground,  he  had  bled  ybtj  much,  it 
is  supposed  that  he  was  Drunk  for  he  had  a  gimblet  in  his  pocket  where- 
with he  had  mad  a  hole  in  a  barrel  of  roome  that  was  in  the  cart  and  had 
put  a  pine  in  it.  He  was  a  young  man  much  given  to  drunkenness  and 
stealing  and  seemed  to  have  little  or  no  regard  for  religion. 

Friday  the  9th  of  August  mr  Ben:  Mayhew  returned  home  from  Rod 
Island  and  supposed  himselfe  much  better  than  when  he  went  abroad  in 
severall  respects:  on  the  Lords  day  following  he  attended  the  pnblick 
worship  of  God  in  the  forenoon  but  could  not  stay  till  afternoon  exercise; 
he  looked  very  pale  and  seemed  to  be  under  much  bodyly  indisposition. 

1717  I  was  Informed  that  July  31  one  Deacon  Wadsworth  of  Blilton 
brother  to  Rev^  Ben:  Wadsworth  Pastour  of  the  old  Church  in  Boston  went 
out  that  morning  with  a  designe  to  rake  together  some  Hay,  and  that  some 
time  after  he  was  found  lying  upon  his  back  with  the  racke  cross  bis  breast 
stone  dead,     this  man  was  esteemed  tmely  pious. 

Augst  1 8th ;  pain  Mayhew  Esq^'  and  his  wife  were  taken  into  the  fel- 
lowship of  the  church  and  were  both  baptized  this  afternoon  and  Jane 
Homes  was  propounded 

August  30th ;  I  attended  the  fnnerall  of  m'  Ben :  Mayhew  he  was  a 
man  of  much  straightness,  of  a  generous  temper  and  of  a  cheerful  dis- 
position. He  fell  under  an  111  habit  of  body,  above  a  year  agone  and  dayly 
declined  to  the  last,  he  had  the  advice  of  Doctor  Talmond  who  was  of 
oppinion  that  he  might  recover,  and  by  the  mededne  he  gave  him  he  seemed 
to  recover  a  little,  but  after  some  time  his  distempers  recurred  and  indeed 
many  of  the  most  dangerous  symptoms  did  abate  as  his  great  shortness  of 
breath  and  spiting  of  blood  &c  yet  he  continued  under  a  habituall  fever 
and  a  bad  concoction,  with  great  restlessness.  Some  time  agoe  he  went  to 
Rod  Island  and  continued  with  his  doctor  several  days,  when  he  returned 
home  he  seemed  to  be  much  revived.  ♦♦♦♦♦♦•  He  left 
^ye  children  behind  him  a  pretty  handsome  estate  he  died  much  lamented

160i— Tnimbnil  eanira  Edmonds— B.  &  A.  T.  8,  62. 

Emm  Trumbull  of  London  wydowe  of  Emanuell  Tramboll  for  her 
selfe  and  on  behalf  of  her  daughter  Mary  Trumbull.    John 
Edmonds  in  his  lief  tyme  in  his  fatherlie  care  towards  yo'  Oratrix 
did  bequeath  to  said  Orr'  fifty  pounds,  said  Edmond  being  her 
late  father,  not  to  come  into  the  hands  of  her  husband  but  for  the 
Yse  of  her  selfe  and  children  in  case  of  necessitie — it  being  in 
trustees  hands  and  bringing  four  pounds  interest  yearly.     He 
made  will  12  Jan^  1598.    He  had  messuages  and  tenements  in 
St  Dunstan's  in  the  East  by  lease  of  the  ffishmongers  company. 
Said  Emanuell  died  last  Michaelmas.    Executors  refuse  to  pay 
the  money.     He  had  also,  14  June  42  Eliz^,  four  tenements  in 
Little  Holland,  co.  Essex,  bringing  twenty  pounds  p  ann.    He 
borrowed  mono  of  one  George  Turfelt  and  gave  bonds.     Said 
Rich^  Edmonds*  pursuaded  him  to  convey  messuages  to  him  as  he 
could  not  pay,  pleading  affection  of  a  brother  (as  he  was  to  yo' 
Oratrix).     Oratrix  offers  to  pay :  he  refuses  to  return  the  bonds. 
Defendant's  reply.— John  Edmonds  was  of  the  Misterye  of  ffish- 
mongers of  the  Cittye  of  London.     He  demised  said  messuages 
to  one  William  Beale,  and  made  Henry  Edmonds  and  Richard 
Edmonds,  theis  defendants,  his  Ex^".    A  mere  legacy  should  be 
sued  for  in  the  Ecclesiasticall  Courts  and  not  in  this  honorable 
Courte.     Compl^  is  in  decayed  estate  and  greatlye  indebted :  so 
as  if  Defendts  shoulde  delyver  vnto  her  said  fifty  pounds  it  should 
be   vtterly  wasted.      It  was  not  for  all  her  children:  twenty 
pounds  were  also  bequeathed  to  Mary  Trumbull  her  daughter. 
They  will  williugly  pay  these  sums  to  suche  psons  as  this  Courte 
shall  awarde.     Trumbull  was  much  indebted  to  this  Def^  and 
made  default  of  payment    John  Edmonds  left  the  money  to 
Richard  Edmonds  and  not  at  all  to  the  said  children.f

Boston  24th  August  1784 
My  dear  Sir 

I  returned  to  this  place  about  a  fortnight  after  you  left  it,  &  received 
from  Mrs.  Cotton  your  friendly  Letter  of  the  2d  of  July,*  wiUi  an  elegmnt

1895.]  Letters  ofElbridge  Oerry.  431 

trayelliDg  Box,  which  I  valiie  highly,  as  it  has  the  Honor  of  being  a  pledge 
of  joar  Friendship,  agreeable  to  your  Injunction  I  shall  oommanicate  what 
has  occarred  since  Ton  left  Annapolis  [May  11th],  presuming  that  yoa 
have  not  received  the  Journals. 

On  the  12th  of  May  yon  remember  that  General  Knox  was  directed  to 
open  a  Correspondence  with  General  Haldiman  in  order  to  ascertain  the 
precise  Time  for  his  delivering  up  ye  Western  posts  within  the  Jurisdiction 
of  the  United  States  :*  the  officer  employed  in  the  Business  was  Colo.  Hull 
who  has  returned  to  this  place  &  says  that  G.  Haldiman  informs  him,  that 
not  having  received  any  Orders  it  is  out  of  his  power  to  deliver  up  the 
posts,  altho :  he  has  certain  information  of  the  Ratification  of  the  definitive 
Treaty ;  bat  the  General  further  declared  that  he  should  execute  the  Orders, 
whenever  they  arrived  with  pleasure,  &  treated  Colo.  Hull  with  great 
politeness. 

The  Indian  Treaty  seems  to  be  at  a  stand,  owing  to  the  different  Opin- 
ions in  Congress  respecting  their  Right  to  make  Requisitions  for  Troops 
without  Consent  of  the  Legislatures  in  Hmes  of  peace;  &  also  to  the 
Opposition  of  New  York  in  Consequence  of  a  non  Compliance  by  Con- 
gress with  the  Request  of  that  State  for  authority  to  raise  500  Men  for 
taking  possession  of  the  Western  posts.t  the  States  of  Massachusetts  & 
N.  York  claim  a  Tract  of  western  Territory,  which  the  latter  have  hereto- 
fore garrisoned.  Massachusetts  announced  their  Claim  to  the  New  York 
Legislature  &  having  petitioned  Congress  for  a  Foederal  Court  to  deter- 
mine the  Jurisdiction,  a  Day  is  assigned  for  that  purpose.^  but  previous  to 
this,  when  it  was  proposed  in  Congress  to  send  part  of  the  Troops  retained 
at  West  point  by  General  Washington  to  take  possession  of  the  Western 
posts,  the  Delegates  of  N.  York  pursuant  to  their  Instructions  objected  to 
the  Measure,  because  the  Troops  were  from  Massachusetts  &  part  of  the 
posts  were  in  the  Jurisdiction  (as  N.  York  says)  of  that  State:  &  the 
Objection  was  followed  with  the  Application  which  1  mentioned  as  having 
been  rejected,  this  Opposition  of  N.  York,  &  the  dissent  of  some  of  the 
States  to  any  Requisition  for  Troops  produced  an  opposition  in  other 
States  to  the  Employment  of  the  Troops  at  West  point  on  the  Business 
mentioned,  unless  it  was  previously  provided  that  their  places  should  be 
speedily  supplied  by  Troops  to  be  required  &  quotied  on  the  several  States 
by  Congress,  &  finally  the  regular  Troops  were  all  disbanded  excepting 
about  60  to  guard  coasts  Magazines  &c,  &  the  States  of  Connecticut  N. 
York  N.  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania  were  called  on  by  Reccmmendaiion  to 
raise  700  Men  for  the  Service  mentioned  to  serve  one  year.  The  first  & 
last  will  probably  comply  with  the  Recommendation,  but  by  a  Letter  of 
last  Week  from  Doctor  [Arthur]  Lee  one  of  the  Commissioners  I  am 
informed  N.  Jersey  are  not  raising  any  Men,  &  N.  York  have  directed  their 
Governor  to  hold  a  Treaty  with  the  Indians  in  Behalf  of  the  State,  in 
Consequence  of  which  he  was  gone  to  Albany,  on  the  Business,  thus  as  it 
is  conceived  by  the  Commissioners  of  Congress,  that  Troops  are  necessary

Gerry  to  Jefferson, 

New  York  25th  Feby.  1785 
My  dear  Sir 

I  am  this  Day  favoured  with  yours  of  the  lith  of  Novr.  &  am  unhappy 
to  hear  that  the  Flames  of  War  have  burst  again  in  the  eastern  World,  4k 
that  there  is  too  much  reason  to  apprehend,  they  will  rage  at  an  early 
period,  in  the  western  Hemisphere — nevertheless,  if  Britain  is  so  mucJi 
under  the  Influence  of  a  weak  passion,  as  to  indulge  it  in  renewing  Hostili- 
ties amongst  us,  we  shall  meet  her  with  cheerful  Hearts  well  knowing  we 
have  Resources,  &  being  fully  assured.  We  shall  by  some  effectual  plan  be 
able  to  draw  them  forth  in  sufficient  quantities  to  humble  her  pride  &  cor- 
rect her  inimical  Disposition. 

Having  given  Mr.  Adams  Information  of  the  proceedings  of  Congress 
since  their  Meeting  at  Trenton,  &  desired  it  may  be  communicated  to  your- 
self, I  can  only  add  on  this  Head,  that  Mr.  [Robert]  Morris,  General  [Phile- 
mon] Dickinson  t  &  Greneral  [Philip]  Schuyler  are  elected  Commissioners 
to  erect  the  Foederal  Buildings  on  the  Delaware,  &  that  the  two  former 
have  accepted  the  Appointment. 

Nothiug  further  is  done  respecting  a  Land  Office,  but  I  presume  it  will 
be  soon  taken  up,  as  the  Indian  Commissioners  have  made  considerable 
progress  in  their  Negotiations. 

A  Report  is  made  to  raise  1500  Men,  but  what  Number  will  be  agreed 
on,  <&  in  what  Mode,  Time  must  determine — the  proposition  is  to  raise  them 
for  three  years. 

Another  Report  is  made  for  recommending  to  the  states  an  alteration  of 
the  Confederation,  so  as  to  invest  Congress  with  the  power  to  regulate  the 
Trade  of  the  United  States,  as  well  with  foreign  powers  as  with  each  other 
&  whilst  I  am  on  the  Subject  give  me  Leave  to  enquire,  whether  it  will 
not  be  better  policy  to  form  our  Treaties  on  Terms  of  Reciprocity  with  each 
Nation  rather  than  on  the  principles  it  has  adopted  with  the  most  favoured 
Nations  ?  If  we  provide  in  our  Treaty  with  each  Nation,  that  whatever 
may  be  the  Average  of  its  Duties  on  Imports  &  Exports,  we  will  lay  simi-

lar  Duties,  thej  may  impose  what  Daties  they  please,  &  we  shall  have 
power  without  Embarrassment^  to  reciprocate  this  commercial  Tax  &  thus 
avoid  being  what  we  otherwise  iaevitably  must  be  their  Tributary — for  if  on 
the  other  Hand,  we  are  to  be  on  the  same  Footing  as  the  most  favoured 
Nation,  &  this  on  an  average  pays  15  p  ct  on  Imports  &  Exports,  whilst 
the  most  favoured  Nation  on  our  part  pays  but  5  p  ct,  is  it  not  evident  that 
this  Rule  would  operate  to  tax  us  ten  p  ct.  as  a  Nation  on  Imports  & 
Exports  from  such  a  Treaty  ?  this  favoured  Nation  System  appears  to  me 
a  system  of  Cobwebbe  to  catch  Flies,  attend  to  it  as  it  respects  Restric- 
tions prohibitions,  &  the  carrying  Trade,  &  it  is  equally  distant  from  a  Rule 
of  Reciprocity,  which  is  the  only  equitable  &  beneficial  Rule  for  forming 
Commercial  Treaties. 

Mr.  Adams  is  appointed  to  the  Court  of  London,  and  a  Report  for  accept- 
ing Doctor  Franklin's  Resignation  is  before  Congress,  who  will  probably 
pass  it,  &  appoint  yourself  to  the  Court  of  Versailles.  Yon  will  certainly 
have  all  the  N  England  interest  in  your  Favour. 

Doctor  Lee  having  just  arrived  from  the  Indian  Treaty,  informs  me  that 
a  Cession  is  obtain^  from  the  Savages  of  about  thirty  Million  acres  of 
land,  bounded  by  the  great  Miami;  Lftke  Erie  &c;  &  that  another  Treaty 
is  to  be  held,  in  which  a  further  Cession  is  expected  more  to  the  southard 
— ^I  am  impatient  for  opening  the  Land  office. 

Nothing  further  occurring  at  present,  give  me  Leave  Sir  to  assure  yon 
that  I  remain  with  the  highest  esteem  your  sincere  Friend  &c 


Gerry  and  Otkert  to  Jefferson, 

New  York  2drd  August,  1785 
Dear  Sir 

We  have  the  honor  of  addressing  this  by  our  worthy  friend,  the  honor- 
able Mr.  Sayre,*  who  was  formerly  sheriff  of  London. 

The  active  part,  which  at  the  commencement  of  the  revolution  he  took 
in  favor  of  America,  is  we  presume,  too  well  known  to  you,  to  require  a 
relation :  and  the  loss  he  sustained,  in  consequence  of  his  opposition  to  the 
british  ministry,  is  not  less  a  matter  of  general  information. 

These  considerations  have  induced  his  friends  in  this  quarter,  to  express 
a  wish  that  he  should  be  employed  in  some  public  office  under  Congress, 
wherein  he  can  render  service  to  the  United  States,  in  a  manner  that  shall 
be  consistent  with  his  honor,  and  their  interest. 

It  so  happens,  at  this  time,  that  there  is  no  appointment  of  that  descrip- 
tion, to  which  we  can  nominate  him ;  but  there  is  an  office,  which  he  will 
probably  accept,  and  the  right  of  filling  it,  is  vested  by  Congress,  in  your- 
self and  his  Excellency  Mr.  Adams:  we  mean  the  department  for  conduct- 
ing the  treaty  with  the  Emperor  of  Morocco  and  the  other  Barbary  powers. 

*  Stephen  Sarre  wis  a  natiTe  of  New  York,  and  had  been  a  classmate  of  Joaeph  Reed, 
at  Princeton.  He  wan  interested  in  aonie  land  specniation  in  wliich  Charles  Townshend, 
Chancellor  of  the  Excheqaer  held  sharen,  and  remoTing  to  London  engaged  in  trade.  He

of  the  Framework  Knitteri,  daboled  in  politics,  took  np  the  canse  of  Wilkes,  and  hi  that

Joined  the  Americans,  and  wtth  Arthur  Lee  sought  employment  in  Earope.    He  aooom-

ceased,  ana  he  became  an  hanger-on  to  the  American  mhiisters  at  Paris.    He  was  eeoeirtrie^

Should  you  be  disposed  to  employ  Mr.  Sayre  in  this  bosiness:  we  think, 
his  knowledge  of  mankind  his  polite  address  his  commercial  and  political 
accomplishments,  and  above  all,  his  sense  of  honor  and  inteffritji  cannot 
fail  of  insuring  you  as  great  a  degree  of  success,  as  the  quMities  of  anj

Gerry  to  Jefferson. 

New  York  12th  Sepr.  1785 
My  dear  Sir 

I  intended  by  the  last  Packet  to  have  answered  your  Letter  of  the  11th 
of  May,  for  which  I  am  much  indeteed  to  you :  but  was  accidentally  pre- 
vented by  her  having  sailed  the  day  before  I  expected  it.  I  cannot  acooimt 
for  the  Detention  of  your  Letter  by  Colo.  LeMair:  and  will  give  yon 
Notice*,  if  the  Commissioner's  Letter  by  him  to  Congress,  has  not  been 
received.  Your  Reasoning,  respecting  JErUrepoU,  corresponds  with  mj 
own  Ideas  of  the  Subject :  1  cannot  see  any  great  Advantages  from  multi- 
plying them  in  Times  of  peace :  in  War  they  may  be  more  useful. — ^with 
Respect  to  the  commercial  Arrangements  of  the  Court  of  France,  in  the 
West  Indies,  however  favourable  they  may  be  viewed  by  some,  they  affect 
our  Fishery  &  have  a  direct  Tendency  to  discourage  it.  A  Duty  on  onr 
Exports  of  Fish,  applied  as  a  Bounty  to  encourage  theirs,  is  a  Rule  that 
has  a  twofold  operation  &  has  been  very  alarming,  this  I  suppose  was  the 
Cause,  why  an  Act  of  Massachusetts  which  originated  before  I  left  the 
State,  to  retaliate  british  Restrictions,  has  since  my  arrival  here  been 
extended  to  other  Nations,  with  Respect  to  the  Oyl  Contract,  it  does  not 
raise  the  Expectations  of  those  who  were  to  be  at  the  Head  of  it,  in  this 
Quarter,  so  far  as  to  engage  them  in  an  Adventure,  at  least  Mr.  Wada- 
worth  &c  appear  to  be  cool  about  it,  whether  to  secure  the  Oyl  at  a  cheaper 
Rate,  or  from  Motives  of  Dislike,  I  am  unable  to  determine,  be  this  as  it 
may,  we  are  not  the  less  obliged  to  our  good  Friend  the  Marquis,  to  whom 
pray  present  my  affectionate  Regards. — the  provision  obtained  in  the 
Treaty  with  prussia,  appears  to  me  of  great  Importance,  the  Advantages 
you  mention  &  I  think  many  others  will  result  therefrom. 

We  have  done  very  little  in  the  present  Congress,  the  Want  of  a  full 
Representation  has  retarded  all  &  prevented  an  Adoption  of  the  most 
important  Foederal  Measures,  the  Requisition  labours  exceedingly  &  I  am 
apprenensive  of  an  Adjournment  without  compleating  it.  Congress  appear 
to  be  in  earnest  respecting  a  Mint,  which  the  Board  of  Treasury  have  under 
Consideration,  they  are  to  digest  the  several  plans  &  reduce  them  to  a 
System. 

Mr.  Jay  is  conducting  the  Negotiation  with  Mr.  Gardoqui,  the  Spanish 
Encargado  de  negotios — Western  posts  in  statu  quo.  Greneral  [Robert] 
Howe  is  added  to  the  Indian  Commission  &  the  Treaty  is  soon  to  be  held : 
Colo.  [James]  Monroe  left  us  to  attend  it  on  private  considerations,     in

Gerry  to  Jtxmes  Monroe, 

Philadelphia,  June  11^  1787 
My  Dear  Sir: 

Yesterday  I  was  favored  with  yours  of  the  3*^  of  June,  &  I 
am  exceedingly  happy  to  hear  of  your  own  &  M"  Munroe's  welfare:  We 
had  before  heard  of  the  addition  made  to  your  Family,  on  which  I  heartily 
congratulate  you.  Mrs.  Grerry  made  me  a  similar  present  the  1*^  of  March 
hist,  which  is  now  under  Inuoculation  with  her  Mamma  at  New  York,  & 
in  a  fair  way  of  recovery ;  I  expect  them  both  here  in  about  a  week.  Your 
sentiments  are  perfectly  correspondent  with  my  own  respecting  domestic 
Happiness,  it  is  ye  only  Happiness  in  this  life  which  in  my  opinion  is  worth 
a  pursuit  our  little  pet  is  named  Catherine  after  its  Grand  Mamma,  &  is 
the  object  of  our  mutual  Delight.  I  observe  you  have  commenced  the  suit 
against  Randolph,  and  when  Money  is  wanted  to  carry  it  on,  you  will  please 
to  draw  on  me. — nothing  will  give  me  more  pleasure  than  to  mention  yon 
to  any  of  my  Friends,  who  may  have  business  to  transact  in  Virginia ;  I 
I  should  have  done  this  as  well  from  a  regard  to  them  as  to  yourself,  know- 
their  Concerns  would  be  perfectly  safe  in  your  hands.  The  Convention  is 
proceeding  in  their  arduous  undertaking  with  eleven  States  under  an  In- 
junction of  secrecy  on  their  members. 

New  Hampshire  have  elected  members  who  are  soon  expected. 

The  object  of  this  meeting  is  very  important  in  my  mind. — unless  a  sys- 
tem of  Government  is  adopted  by  Compactj  Force  I  expect  will  plant  Uie 
Standard :  for  such  an  anarchy  as  now  exists  cannot  last  long.  Gentlemen 
seem  to  be  impressed  with  the  necessity  of  establishing  some  efficient 
system,  &  I  hope  it  will  secure  us  against  domestic  as  well  as  Foreign 
Invasion — pray  remember  me  in  the  most  friendly  Terms  to  Mrs  Monroe 
&  be  assured  I  am  on  every  occasion  Your  affectionate  Friend 


Gerry  to  Jcanes  Monroe, 

New  York,  25"^  June  17dO. 
My  Dear  Sir. 

I  am  favored  with  yours  of  the  6^  of  March  &  should  have 
returned  an  earlier  answer,  had  not  the  influenza  disqualified  me  for  a  con- 
siderable time  from  attending  to  business,  which  afterwards  pressed  in  an 
increased  degree  &  prevented  me  from  being  punctual  in  my  correspondence. 
I  have  exchanged  with  Mr.  Starke  several  letters  on  Uie  subject  of  mj 
demand  against  CoR  Randolph's  estate  &  have  taken  a  deposition  to  enable 
him  to  make  use  of  Col^  Harrison's  evidence.    We  have  been  in  great

expectation  of  seeing  yon  &  joar  lovely  Mrs.  Monroe  here  tliis  Sprii^;' 
with  yoar  little  folks,  but  have  been  hitherto  disappointed  &  I  fear  we 
shall  leave  the  City  without  that  pleasure — we  have  only  one  child  aUve, 
having  lost  a  lovely  boy  last  fall  about  twelve  months  old,  but  Mrs  6.  ia 
hourly  expecting  an  addition  to  her  family  &  I  wish  the  conflict  was  well 
over. 

As  to  politicks,  I  can  say  nothing  about  them  that  will  be  very  pleasing. 
I  was  in  some  expectation  that  the  new  government  would  have  for  a  time 
risen  superior  to  local  views  &  prejudices,  but  confess  to  you  that  I  am 
greatly  disappointed  for  I  think  the  evil  exists  in  as  great  degree  as  it  did 
under  the  confederation.  The  two  houses  are  much  divid^  about  the 
assumption,  &  their  embarrassments  are  increased  by  blending  this  with  the 
permanent  &  temporary  residence  of  Congress.  Intrigues,  cabals  &  com- 
binations are  the  consequence,  and  what  will  be  the  issue,  time  must  deter- 
mine. 

Congress  are  much  divided  on  other  points  touching  the  Funding  System 
&  I  see  no  great  prospect  of  oar  placing  public  credit  on  a  solid  baab: 
but  you  know  I  am  not  apt  to  despond  &  on  this  occasion  I  am  determined 
to  anticipate  good,  untill  evil  shall  exclude  every  ray  of  hope. 

Mrs  Gerry  joins  me  Sincerely  in  affectionate  regards  to  Mrs  Monroe  & 
yourself  &  be  assured  of  ever  Yours  oincerely 


Gerry  to  James  Monroe, 

Cambridge  4th  April,  1797 
My  dear  Sir 

Being  troubled  at  this  time  with  an  inflammation  in  the  eyea 
my  letter  must  be  short  I  am  very  happy  to  hear  of  your  arrival  at  Phila- 
delphia; but  Mrs.  Gerry  &  myself  should  have  been  much  more  so,  had 
you  taken  passage  for  Boston  &  spent  sometime  with  us  at  Cambridge. 
whenever  you  may  make  a  tour  of  Massachusetts,  we  shall  depend  on  yovr 
making  of  our  house  your  headquarters  with  Mrs.  Monroe  &  your  petits. 

Your  recall*  has  always  been,  in  my  mind,  enigmatical.  I  have  made 
enquiry  of  all  my  friends,  but  no  one  could  tell  the  reason,  when  Mr. 
Adet  was  here,  I  enquired  of  him ;  &  he  supposed,  there  was  a  plan  to  fill 
all  the  foreign  offices  with  men  disaffected  to  the  french  government:  & 
gave  his  Reasons  for  this  opinion,  at  that  time,  I  tho't  he  might  be  heated 
with  zeal,  &  made  allowances  for  it ;  but  from  appearances  since  I  am  con- 
vinced that  there  has  been  a  deep  system,  at  home  &  abroad,  to  disgrace 
republicanism, &  republican  officers;  &  that  the  late  President  [Washington] 
has  unfortunately  confided  too  much  in  persons  of  this  disposition,  if  this 
was  the  case,  I  am  sure  from  some  circumstances,  that  our  present  chief 
magistrate  [John  Adams]  was  not  in  the  secret:  the  intriguers  probablj 
knew  him  too  well,  to  suppose  he  would  join  the  nefarious  league;  &  they 
accordingly  laid  a  plan  to  prevent  his  election,  as  well  as  Mr.  Jefferson's, 
but,  have  happily  for  the  public  failed,  it  has  lately  leaked  out  that  the 
cause  of  your  recall  was  your  speculations  in  france;  carried  on  by  the 
assistance  of  Mr.  [Fulwar]  Skipwith,  who  is  represented  as  a  deep  specu- 
lator, this  is  so  remote  from  your  character,  that  it  wants  no  refutation  in 
my  mind;  more  especially,  as  I  had  heard  of  your  having  made  a  fortunate

purchase  of  a  house  to  reside  in,  which  would  appreciate  in  its  value  to  a 
capital  fortune,  &  which  every  minister  had  an  undoubted  right  to  make  for 
his  accommodation.  I  wish  to  receive  from  you  an  historical  account  of 
this  extraordinary  manoeuvre,  as  far  as  you  can  with  propriety  make  it: 
that  I  may  be  able  to  do  justice  to  your  character  in  this  quarter,  indeed 
I  think  the  impolicy  of  the  measure,  demonstrated  by  its  consequences,  the 
high  esteem  &  con^dence  expressed  by  the  french  directory  in  their  answer 
to  your  communication  of  recall,  &  the  refusal  of  Mr.  [Charles  Cotesworth] 
Pinckney,  will  flash  conviction  in  the  faces  of  your  enemies  &  defeat  their 
calumnies,  pray  give  Mrs.  Gerry's  &  my  best  regards  to  Mrs.  Monroe  & 
accept  them  yourself,  being  assured,  my  Dear  sir,  that  I  remain  with  the 
highest  esteem  &  respect  your  friend  &  humble  servant,

My  dear  Friend 

Your  obliging  letters  of  the  12th  of  May,  &  21st  of  June, 
I  have  received;  &  have  taken  a  step,  by  accepting  the  appointment  of 
France,  which  it  is  diJQ&cult  to  justify  to  my  family,  under  existing  circum- 
stances.* your  information  &  opinion  which  bad  great  influence  in  this 
decision;  the  weighty  considerations,  that  the  appointment  having  been 
once  declined,  a  second  refusal  might  at  home  <&  abroad  make  disagreeable 
impressions;  &  the  critical  state  of  our  affairs,  which,  difficult  as  the  enter- 
prise is,  requires  the  most  vigorous  effort  of  every  friend  to  this  country, 
have  combined  to  form  a  determination  the  result  of  which,  as  it  respects 
the  publick  as  well  as  the  Envoys,  is  problematical ;  &  may  entail  on  the

pressed  as  1  am  with  attentions  on  all  sides,  &  afflicted  by  an  inflammation 
in  my  eyes,  to  do  justice  to  your  letters  in  which  is  comprised  a  volume  of 
politics,  the  declaration  which  you  make  respecting  your  principles  &  views, 
is  supported  by  the  uniformity  of  your  conduct  &  requires  no  collateral 
evidence.  I  do  not  conceive  that  the  President  has  the  least  doubt  of  your 
disposition,  in  your  proper  department,  to  cooperate  with  him  <&  support 
the  dignity  of  his  office ;  or  the  least  apprehension,  that  you  '^  view  him  as 
an  obstacle  in  your  way  "  to  what  you  consider  "  splendid  misery.**  there 
can  be  no  doubt,  I  think,  when  he  relinquishes  the  high  office  which  he 
now  tills,  that  you  will  be  his  successor;  and  a  party,  unfriendly  to  one  or 
both  of  you,  will  naturally  use  every  strategem  to  interrupt  your  mutual 
confidence,  for  this  would  make  the  friends  of  each,  the  friends  of  both,  & 

«  On  May  3Ut,  President  Adams  sent  to  the  Senate  the  names  of  Charles  Cotesworth 
Pincknev,  Francis  Dana  and  John  Marshall,  to  be  jointly  and  seTerally  envoys  extraordinary 
and  ministers  plenipotentiary  to  the  French  Repablic  The  olyccc  of  this  mission  was,  as 
stated  by  the  President,  to  "  dissipate  umbrages,  remove  prejudices,  rectify  errors,  and 
adjust  nil  diflferenccs,  by  a  treaty  between  the  two  powers."  Mr.  Dana  declined  the 
appointment,  and  on  Jane  20th,  Mr.  Oerry  was  named  in  his  place.  See  Adamt  to  Gerry^

of  this  mission,  or  to  detail  the  unfortunate  position  Mr.  Gerry  was  placed  in,  by  his  over- 
zealous  attempts  to  secure  an  agreement  with  the  Directory.  That  his  conduct  was  weak 
and  ver>'  ill-judged  cannot  be  denied,  and  his  reputation  for  ability  has  sudly  suffered  by 
this  connection  with  the  X.  T.  Z.  negotiations.    He  returned  to  America  October  1, 1799.

Gerry  to  Jeffenon, 

Cambridge  15th  January  1801 
By  Judge  [Levi]  Lincoln,  my  dear  Sir,  I  embrace  a  favourable  oppor- 
tnnity  of  acknowledging  your  very  friendly  letter  of  the  26th  of  Jany,  1799; 
but  permit  me  previously  to  give  you  some  information  in  regard  to  thia 
genUeman.  Mr.  Lincoln  is  an  eminent  lawyer  in  this  state,  &  his  profes- 
sional talents,  are  accompanied  with  a  humane  &  benevolent  disposition^ 
pure  integrity,  great  liberality,  &  unsullied  honor  &  morality;  he  is  more* 
over  a  rational  consistent  &  thorough  republican,  if  you  do  not  find  that 
his  character  corresponds  with  this  description,  &  that  he  is  a  real  acquisi- 
tion to  Congress,  I  will  readily  relinquish  all  pretensions  to  any  knowledge 
of  mankind. 

I  congratulate  you,  my  friend,  very  sincerely,  that  we  have  reason  to 
hope  never  again  "  to  see  the  dayi  when,  breathing  nothing  but  sentiments 
of  love  to  our  country,  &  its  freedom  &  happiness,  our  correspondence  mast 
be  as  secret  as  if  we  were  hatching  its  destruction."  1  have  long  wished  to 
express  the  great  obligation  I  felt,  for  your  free  &  full  communication  by 
the  letter  mentioned ;  but  to  do  it  by  the  corrupt  channel  of  a  post  office,  or 
by  any  one,  who  betraying  his  trust,  might  consider  perfidy  as  a  meritori- 
ous act  of  federalism,  was  less  eligible  than  to  delay  it  till  an  interview  or 
safe  conveyance  should  present  itself,  as  to  my  political  sentiments,  they  are 
not  secret,  but  I  wish  not  to  have  them  promulged  by  the  base  means  of 
interception ;  because  one  seldom  writes  to  a  friend  with  that  precision, 
which  is  necessary  in  expressing,  during  the  reign  of  faction,  political  opin- 
ions, indeed,  before  the  receipt  of  your  letter  I  had  every  reason  to  sus- 
pect, that  a  certain  disgraced  &  disgraceful  ex-secretary*  opened  a  letter 
which  I  wrote  to  President  Adams,  &  fabricated  with  its  coadjutors,  a 
report  in  regard  to  my  communications  which  the  President  was  under  the 
necessity  of  rejecting,  as  containing,  **  misrepresentations,  calanmies,  dk

could  you  coDcei^e  sir  after  seeing  bis  report  on  my  communications,  that 
he  was  in  possession  of  a  proposition  which  I  made  to  my  colleagues,  at  the 
very  commeucemeat  of  our  disgraceful  conferences  with  X  &  T,  which 
would  have  put  an  end  to  them,  &  which  President  Adams  acknowledged 
to  me,  was  a  full  answer  to  everything  that  could  be  urged  against  me* 
it  is  in  these  words  '^  To  the  question,  whether  the  propositions  informally 
&  confidentially  communicated  to  us  as  private  citizens,  at  the  request,  as 
is  stated  of  Mr.  Talleyrand,  in  his  private  capacity,  will  be  adopted  as  the 
basis  of  a  treaty  ?  this  answer  is  given,  that  it  is  highly  probable  some  of 
the  propositions  communicated  on  the  evenings  of  the  19th  &  20  of  October 
(being  the  28th  &  29th  vendimaire  j  will  be  considered  as  the  basis  of  the 
project  of  a  treaty,  &  others  as  inadmissable ;  but  that  it  is  impossible  to 
discuss,  or  come  to  a  decision  on  them,  until  they  are  presented  to  us  in  our 
official  characters."  I  have  the  original  proposition  by  me,  &  at  the  bot- 
tom of  it  this  note  in  General  Pinckney's  hand  writing  '*  intended  to  be 
given  Saturday  the  21st  of  October."  I  have  in  a  number  of  remarks, 
pointed  out  to  the  President,  the  illiberality,  partiality  &  injustice  of  that 
officious  report,  &  but  for  the  President's  request  to  avoid  a  public  discvs- 
sion  of  that  extraordinary  mission,  would  have,  long  ere  this,  done  justice 
to  my  conduct  &  character.     I  trust  however  he  will  eventnally  do  it.* 

I  am  extremely  anxious  to  hear  the  result  of  the  Presidential  electioB. 
the  insidious  plan  oi  the  feudaUtts,  to  place  Mr.  Burr  in  the  chair,  is  the 
acme  of  their  perfidy  and  enmity  to  this  country,  he  himself  considers  it 
in  this  light;  well  knowing,  that  the  measure  does  not  proceed  from  any 
respect  or  attachment  to  him,  whom  they  abhore  as  well  as  yourself  on 
account  of  your  mutual  predilection  for  republicanism,  but  from  a  desire 
to  promote  that  division  among  the  people,  which  they  have  excited  & 
nourished  as  the  germ  of  a  civil  war.  I  must  candidly  acknowledge,  that  I 
tho't  it  the  best  policy  to  re-elect  Mr.  Adams  &  yourself;  because  in  that 
event,  you  would  have  united  your  exertions  &  respective  parties  in  sup- 
pressing the  feudalists,  &  at  the  next  choice  there  was  little  reason  in  my 
mind  to  doubt,  that  Mr.  Adams  would  retire,  &,  with  his  friends  support 
your  election  to  the  chair  &  administration :  whereas  there  is  danger  now, 
that  many  of  his  adherents  will  again  unite  with  the  Hamiltonians  &  em- 
barrass your  administration,  if  you  should  succeed  him,  to  avenge  what  they 
consider  as  an  act  of  ingratitude  to  the  object  of  their  choice,  but  every 
friend  to  this  country,  in  this  event,  will  double  his  exertions  to  support 
you  as  a  measure  of  the  last  importance  to  the  foreign  &  domestic  peace, 
&  general  welfare  of  the  Union. 

The  silent  &  dignified  contempt,  with  which  you  have  treated  the  un- 
paralleled abuse,  which,  to  the  eternal  disgrace  of  the  United  States,  has 

*  In  the  '*  Works  of  John  Adams,**  r\i\.,  610,  is  printed  a  critidsm  by  Oerry  on  Picker- 
ing's strictures.  President  Adams  sent  it  to  Pickering  and  wii^hed  to  have  it  inserted  ia  a

been  circulated  in  their  gazette,  will  be  a  distinguisbed  trait  io  your  charac- 
ter :  I  wish  the  yenera'l  Doctor  Priestly,  whose  reputatioo,  iu  the  opiDions 
of  liberal  men  was  invulnerable,  had  not  condescended  to  notice  anonyoioiu 
calumnies,  for  the  measure  being  unnecessary,  was  of  no  service  to  him. 
to  confound  slanderers,  it  is  sufficient  not  to  merit  the  slander. 

Your  assurance,  in  regard  to  your  not  having  intermeddled  with  the 
affairs  of  our  mission,  by  means  of  Doctor  [George]  Logan,*  was  unneces- 
sary :  I  knew  you  too  well  to  listen  to  such  a  calumny.  You  have  been 
pleased  to  make  me  *^  a  profession  of  your  political  faith"  &  to  add,  "  these 
my  friend  are  my  principles,  they  are  unquestionably  the  principles  of  the 
great  body  of  our  fellow  citizens,  &  I  know  that  there*  is  not  one  of  them 
which  is  not  yours  also."  in  this  last  expression  you  do  me  great  honor 
&  justice  likewise,  &  the  principles  are  such  as  I  ever  have  been,  &  hope 
in  this  country  where  I  mean  to  spend  the  residue  of  my  life,  I  ever  shall 
be  free  to  avow,  &  altho*  **  we  differed  on  one  ground,  the  funding  system,'' 
yet  was  I  sure  that  "  from  the  moment  of  its  being  adopted  by  the  consti- 
tuted authorities,  you  became  religiously  principled  in  the  sacred  discharge 
of  it,  to  the  uttermost  farthing."  Your  declaration  to  this  effect  therefore 
was  not  requisite  to  confirm  my  belief. 

The  corrupt  propositions  made  by  X  &  Y  did  not  appear  to  me  to  have 
been  sanctioned  by  the  Directory  of  whose  integrity  or  justice  I  had  how- 
ever no  great  opinion,  indeed  there  was  no  positive  evidence  that  thej 
proceeded  from  Mr.  Talleyrand,  but  I  have  no  doubt  of  the  fact.  £50,000 
sterling,  which  as  a  douceur  to  be  divided  amongst  the  Directory,  would  at 
that  time  have  been  spurned  at  by  them,  might  have  answered  the  purposes 
of  Mr.  Talleyrand  &  of  the  principal  officers  of  his  bureau,  &  his  general 
character  will  warrant  the  belief,  that  this  was  his  object :  but  be  this  as 
it  may,  you  would  never  have  seen  those  dispatches,  had  I  been  alone  on 
the  mission,  untill  all  hopes  of  peace  were  at  an  end,  &  their  communica- 
tion had  become  necessary  to  unite  the  nation  in  a  declaration  of  war.  I 
was  apprehensive  of  their  publication  &  suggested  to  one  at  least  of  the 
other  Envoys,  General  Marshal,  the  propriety  of  confining  the  communica- 
tion to  the  President,  &  frequently  to  both,  the  extraordinary  light  if  pub- 
lished, in  which  it  must  be  viewed  by  men  of  sense,  indeed  it  is  wonder- 
ful that  the  promulgation  of  our  dispatches  had  not  proved  fatal  to  me,  for 
the  Directory  were  so  exasperated  at  it,  as  immediately  to  agitate  the  ques- 
tion of  war,  &  there  was  a  bare  majority  against  it,  on  the  principle  only, 
that  it  would  be  a  measure,  which  however  provoked  by  the  United  States, 
was  a  favourite  object  of  G.  Britain  &  if  adopted,  would  make  France  a 
dupe  of  the  policy  of  that  nation  &  of  its  own  resentment.  The  great  exer- 
tions of  the  british  cabinet  to  circulate  thro'out  Europe  our  dispatches, 
served  to  convince  the  Directory  of  the  impolicy  of  a  war  with  us,  at  least 
on  that  occiision.  Mr.  Talleyrand  had  early  in  the  spring  declared  to  me 
in  the  name  of  the  Directory,  that  my  departure  from  Paris  would  bring 
on  an  immediate  rupture,  &  as  there  had  been  no  instance  of  an  official 
declaration  made  by  the  directory  which  had  not  been  carried  into  effect, 
I  have  no  doubt  of  it  in  this  instance :  but  when  they  saw  how  eager  their 
most  inveterate  enemy  was  to  attain  the  object,  they  did  not  think  so 
lightly  of  it,  as  they  had  been  wont  to  consider  it.  the  war  party  here 
have  pretended,  that  the  martial  attitude  of  the  U.  States  prevented  a  war, 
but  that  was  not  known  in  France  at  the  time  of  the  declaration  made  to

me  ID  the  name  of  the  directory,  neither  was  a  war  viewed  by  it  then,  as 
an  aoqaisition  of  such  importance  to  6.  B.  if  however  there  exists  the 
least  doubt  that  france  would  have  declared  war,  or  that  a  suggestion  of 
X  &  T  to  this  effect,  disavowed  as  it  was  by  the  directory  and  french  min- 
ister, was  different  from  the  official  declaration  made  to  me  by  Mr.  Talley- 
rand, yet  I  think  there  can  be  no  doubt,  that  had  all  the  Envoys  have  left 
France  at  that  critical  period,  the  U.  S.  on  their  arrival  here  would  have 
been  so  hurried  away  by  passion  &  influenced  by  faction,  as  to  have  ren- 
dered the  act  very  popular  if  not  indispensable  on  the  part  of  Congress. 

Mr.  Pickering  in  his  report  has  mentioned  the  threat  of  X  &  Y,  as  a 
measure  proceeding  from  the  directory,  and  comparing  it  with  the  declara- 
tion made  to  me  says  they  both  merited  contempt,  but  the  one  was  unofficial 
&  has  been  disavowed,  the  other  was  official  and  by  my  correspondence, 
has  been  confirmed,  judge  then  of  his  want  of  either  discernment  or  can- 
dor, &  whether  it  was  not  my  indispensable  duty  to  have  remained  in  France, 
after  the  departure  of  the  other  envoys,  you  appeal  to  me  to  say  whether 
peace  might  cot  have  been  attained,  if  either  of  my  colleagues  had  been  of  the 
same  sentiment  with  myself.  I  have  no  hesitation  to  answer  in  the  affirm- 
ative, &  to  assure  you  candidly  that  your  opinion  that  one  of  them  at  least 
possessed  this  qualification,  was  the  point  on  which  my  determination,  then 
held  in  suspense,  turned  for  accepting  the  appointment  to  that  embassy, 
without  such  a  persuasion  nothing  could  have  induced  me  to  the  measure, 
but  you  was  unfortunately  for  me,  tho'  perhaps  fortunately  for  the  publick, 
mistaken  &  the  late  events  have  proved,  that  peace  as  we  both  supposed, 
was  attainable.  Judge  Lincoln  has  called  on  me  rather  sooner  than  I 
expected,  &  is  in  too  much  haste  to  wait  untill  I  can  answer  the  other  parts 
of  your  letter :  I  must  therefore  reserve  this  for  another  opportunity. 

I  have  thus  Car  communicated  without  reserve  &  in  the  fullest  confidence 
my  sentiments  on  our  important  national  concerns ;  &  if  they  are  too  much 
tinged  with  severity,  the  unmerited  provocation  which  I  have  had  must  be 
my  apology,  permit  me  now  my  dear  sir  to  renew  my  assurances  of  the 
most  sincere  attachment,  &  that  I  remain  with  the  highest  respect  your 
affectionate  friend. 

excuse  errors,  for  I  cannot  revise  or  correct  this  letter.

MORE  NOTES  ON  THE  ENGLISH  GARFIELDS. 

By  W.  P.  W.  Phillimore,  M  Jk.,  B.C  J«.,  London,  Eng. 
[Condaded  from  page  304.] 

It  will  be  seen,  upon  a  careful  examination  of  the  evidence  now  coUected 
together,  that  we  are  still  without  the  solution  of  the  problem  of  President 
Garfield's  English  ancestry,  though  it  can  hardly  be  doubted  that  we  are 
upon  the  right  track.  Nor  do  the  wills  help  us  to  form  much  of  a  pedigree. 
Still  it  is  clear  that  the  Warwickshire  and  Northamptonshire  families  were 
nearly  akin.  Thus  William  Grarfield  of  Clifton  on  Dunsmore,  1618,  names 
John  Freest  of  Kilsby  Thomas,  and  John  Garfield  of  Kilshy,  in  the  same 
year  (1618)  names,  as  his  overseers,  John  Preeste  and  Thomas  Anlsupp, 
while  William  Garfield  of  Bilton,  1584,  names  William  Awsop  of  Kilsby, 
and  the  nine  children  of  Thomas  Awsop,  besides  Steven  Shatswell  and  John 
Shatswell.  A  John  Shotteswell  attested  the  will  of  Robert  Garfidd  of 
Church  Lawford  in  1620.  The  name  of  Shatswell  often  occnrs  in  the  Sals- 
by  manor  rolls. 

From  these  wills  the  following  seems  probable:

450  Notes  an  the  English  Cfarfields.  [Oct. 

Some  court  rolls  for  Cold  Ashbj  exist  in  the  Pnblic  Record  Office,  bat 
these— which  are  for  the  period  of  22-25  Henry  VIII.  (1531-34)— hare 
no  mention  of  the  name. 

It  will  be  observed  that  we  have  a  record  at  Lichfield  of  the  adminis- 
tration of  one  Edward  Garfield  of  Hillmorton  in  1586;  as  he  was  a  mar- 
ried man  it  is,  of  course,  possible  that  he  was  the  fisither  of  Edward  Garfield, 
of  Watertown,  Mass.,  the  stockfather  of  the  American  family,  who  was 
bom  about  1575.  Or  the  emigrant  may  have  been  a  son  of  Richard  named 
in  the  preceding  table.  That  he  was  nearly  related  seems  at  least  probable 
when  we  remember  that  Ralph  Garfield,  in  his  will  (1607),  mentions,  that 
his  son  Benjamin  (afterwards  of  London)  was  then  **  in  some  part  beyond 
the  seas."  Ralph  Garfield  was  largely  interested  in  ships  and  it  may  be 
that  his  son  was  then  visiting  his  kinsman  in  Massachusetts.  All  this,  how- 
ever, is  mere  surmise,  and  diough  of  one  or  two  branches,  notably  that  of 
Church  Lawford  and  Ashby  St  Ledgers,  it  is  possible,  with  the  help  of  the 
registers,  to  draw  out  more  or  less  complete  pedigrees,  it  seems  better  not 
to  attempt  it  at  present.  Some  of  the  later  records,  which  are  now  printed, 
may  appear  scarcely  relevant  to  a  search  after  President  Grarfield's  English 
ancestors,  but  it  must  be  remembered  that  some  interest  necessarily  attaches 
to  even  the  remote  kindred  of  so  eminent  a  man,  and  in  that  fact  the  reader 
will  doubtless  find  an  adequate  reason  for  their  inclusion. 


Since  writing  the  foregoing  notes  I  have  again  consulted  the  manor  rolls 
of  Kilsby  with  that  result,  that  the  rolls  of  eight  more  courts  held  upon 
dates  ranging  from  1  Elizabeth,  1558-9  to  1600.  In  none  of  the  later 
courts  could  any  mention  of  the  name  be  found,  but  in  the  roll  of  the  court 
held  on  21  October,  1659,  we  have  mention  of  the  fact  that  "  Willms  Grare- 
fielde  "  was  one  of  the  homage.  Further  there  is  an  entry  of  the  death  of 
Thomas  Garle,who,  it  will  be  remembered,  was  presented  on  20  April,  1551, 
as  heir  of  Robert  Garle.  This  is  of  special  interest,  as  it  proves  the  cor- 
rectness of  the  suggestion  thrown  out  in  my  former  paper,  that  Grarle  and 
Garfield  are  identical  names.  From  the  fact  that  Ellen  West  was  pre- 
sented as  heir  of  Thomas  Garfield,  it  seems  clear  that  he  and  his  brothers 
must  have  died  without  issue  and  that  consequently  the  ancestor  of  Presi- 
dent Garfield  must  be  sought  for  in  some  other  line  of  the  family.  It  will 
be  seen  that  Thomas  Garfield  must  have  died  sometime  in  the  year  1558  or 
1559,  possessed  of  the  messuage,  "  quatrona  "  of  land  and  customary  cot- 
tage to  which  he  had  succeeded  on  the  death  of  his  brother,  Robert  Gar- 
field, in  the  4th  of  Edward  VI.  As  already  mentioned  his  sister  Ellen 
West,  who  was  the  wife  of  Thomas  West,  of  Payltou,  succeeded  him,  paying 
the  value  of  the  heriot  the  ^*  black  blossomed  "  cow  and  also  paying  a  fine 
and  doing  fealty.  The  record  of  these  transactions  is  thus  set  out  on  the 
court  roll :

Annis  (Chickering)  Morse,  was  bom  in  Dedham,  Mass.,  March  8,  1646-7,  and 
baptized  Marcli  8,  1646-7.  She  married  for  lier  first  husband  Israel*  Everett,

1651,  and  died  there  December  88,  1678.  To  them  were  bom  in  Dedham  Tabi- 
(Ao*  EvereU  June  11,  1676,  BodJoMiah*  Everett  AugastSy  1678.  She  was  married 
a  second  time,  October  18,  1687,  by  Rev.  John  Bay  ley  of  Watertown,  Mass.,  to 
William  Jones,  a  tailor,  then  of  Watertown.  He  was  a  son  of  Dep.  Got.  Wil-

town,  Caleb  Jones,  December  80, 1688. 

The  wife  sunriyed  her  second  husband,  and  died  in  Guilford,  Ck>nn.,  Sept. 
88,  1737. 

William  Jones,  with  his  wife  Abigail,  appear  to  haye  llyed  in  Watertown  from 
their  marriage  in  1687  until  about  1690,  when  the  family,  with  the  three  young 
children,  remoyed  to  Guilford,  Conn.,  and  thenceforth  resided  there.  The  two 
children  by  the  first  marriage  retained  their  father's  name  under  the  spelling  of 
**  Ayered,**  grew  up  and  were  married  in  Guilford. 

Tabitha*  Ayered  married  January  6,  1705,  Benjamin  Dudley,  a  twin  son  of 
Joseph  and  Ann  (Bobinson)  Dudley,  who  was  bom  June  11,  1671,  and  died 
Febniary  80, 1780,  in  Guilford.  She  married  secondly  February  81, 1783,  Jasper 
Saxton,  whose  birth  and  death  are  unknown.  Her  death  is  recorded  in  the 
Guilford  Church  records :  **  Tabitha  Ayered  Saxton,  widow  Jasper,  Sept.  87, 
1755."    By  the  first  marriage  there  were  four  daughters  and  one  son. 

Josiah*  Avered  married  Dec.  80, 1703,  Elizabeth  Cook,  daughter  of  Thomas 
and  Sarah  (Mason)  Cook.  She  was  bora  in  Guilford  February  88,  1684.  To 
them  were  bora  in  Guilford  fiye  sons  and  two  daughters :  Elizabeth,*  Nov.  5, 
1704;  Israa,*  May  4,  1708;  Joeiah^  Aug.  4,  1710;  Beuben,*  Noy.  7,  1718; 
Sarah*  July  18,  171—;  Abner*  April  7, 1781 ;  TteoOy,*  May  9,  1787. 

Josiah*  Ayered,  or  Eyerett,  the  father,  remoyed  to  the  adjoining  town  of 
Durham  about  1788  or  9,  and  in  1738  moyed  again  to  the  adjoining  town  of 
Wallingford,  where  he  was  Uying  in  1747,  when  he  deeded  a  farm  to  his  son 
Abner*  Ayered,  in  consideration  of  loye  and  good  will  to  him. 

Caleb  Jones,  the  son  by  the  second  marriage,  likewise  grew  up  in  Guilford, 
and  was  married  there  Jidy  15, 1788,  to  Mary  Bishop.    He  died  Msy  84,  1764.

bora  in  Woodbury  live  sons  and  Ave  daughters,  one  of  whom,  Bev.  Noble* 
Kverett,  was  the  syttled  pastor  In  Warehain,  Mass.,  for  nearly  fifty  years. 
With  this  branch  the  spelling  of  the  name  changed  from  Avered  to  Everett. 

Abner*  Avered,  the  fourth  son,  bom  April  T,  17S1,  In  Guilford,  accompaaied 
his  parents  to  Dnrbam  and  Walllngford,  and  died  In  WalHngford  about  1804. 
lie  married  In  Walllngford  Dec.  5,  1744.  Eunice  Hall,  daugbter  of  Ensign  Amos 
and  Rnth  Hall.  She  died  there  Jany.  21,  1776.  To  Ihera  were  born :  Amot,* 
Sept.  25,  1745;  Abntr,*  April  21,  1748;  Edmund,*  Nor.  22,  1750;  AnibroK,* 
Dec.  7,  1753;  Eunif*,*  May  32,  1760.  This  branch  has  split  in  spelling  the 
name;  Amoe  and  Ambrose,  who  removed  to  the  present  town  of  PlymoaOi, 
Conn,  (formerly  part  of  Watertown  and  Walerbury),  spelling  it  Averet  In  17BI, 
and  Everlt  in  1794,  while  Edmuntl  and  Eunice,  who  remained  In  Walllngford, 
and  Abncr,  who  removed  to  Northampton,  Mass.,  spelt  It  Avery. 

The  daughter  Sarah*  Avered  was  married  In  Walliogford  June  12,  1735,  to 
Ebenezer  Levels. 

Of  the  other  sons,  Reuben'  and  Timothy,*  I  Uave  no  history,  and  would  like 
Information  if  there  is  any  one  to  give  it. 

This  statement  of  the  ancestry  of  Abner*  Avered  shows  the  incorrectness  of 
the  claim  put  forth  in  the  "  Averys  of  Groton,"  recently  published,  where  he 
is  called  Abner  Avery  (No.  61,  pp.  419-20),  the  son  of  a  Joslah  Avery  of  Ston- 
iDgton  (No.  20,  p.  410).  My  attention  during  the  past  year  has  been  given  to 
Joslah  and  Tabitha  Avered  of  Guilford,  Conn.,  and  their  descendants,  two 
branches  of  which,  Joslah  and  Israel,  I  now  have  nearly  In  full.  While  fol- 
lowing the  Abner  branch,  I  found,  In  examining  the  Walllngford  records.  Uiftt 
the  spelling  of  the  name  began  to  change  abont  1760  to  Avery,  and  that  b1dc« 
1800  one  portion  of  this  branch  were  all  Averys,  while  another  portion  were  kll 
Everetts.  The  most  complete  evidence  of  this  claim  Is  the  deed  signed  In  1786 
by  the  foar  sons  and  one  daughter,  wherein  by  the  beginning  Amos  Avered  of 
Watertown,  Ambrose  Avered  of  Watertown,  Edmund  Avered  of  Walllngford, 
Abner  Avered,  Jr.,  of  Walllngford,  and  Eunice  Avered  of  Walllngford,  deed 
land  descended  to  ns  from  our  honorable  mother,  deceased,  twelve  acres,  nesr 
where  EnEs°  Amos  Hall  lately  lived,  and  bounded  N.  and  3.  on  heirs  of  Amos 
Halt,  dece.ised ;  W.  on  land  deeded  this  day  to  Abner  Avered,  Jr. ;  E.  on  land 
of  Bartholomew  Andrews.  This  deed  was  signed  Amos  Avered,  Abner  Avery, 
Jr.,  Edmond  Avery,  Ambrose  Avery,  Eunice  Avered.  In  1797  the  father  nude 
his  will,  which  was  presented  to  the  Probate  Court  in  1804,  when  all  the  names 
were  spelt  Avery.  At  the  same  time  Amos  and  Ambrose  wrote  their  names  In 
1791  as  Averet.  while  Edmond  and  Eunice  became  Avery.  This  shows  dearlj 
that  Abner  was  an  Everett  and  no  Avery. 

An  examination  of  the  records  of  Guilford,  Durham  and  WalHngford  irill 
conflrra  these  points.  My  abstracts  of  these,  together  with  other  references, 
are  now  on  file,  boand,  in  the  library  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogi- 
cal Society  In  Boston,  where  they  can  be  examined.

Queries. 

Parke — Thompson. — In  the  Colonial  Records  of  Massachusetts,  under  date 
of  May  30,  1644  [30,  3mo.],  is  this  record :  **  The  petition  of  Robert  Parke  is 
granted  by  ye  whole  Courte,  and  hath  liberty  to  proceed  in  marriage  with  Alice 
Tompson  without  further  publishment." 

Robert  Parke,  at  that  time  of  Wethersfleld,  Conn.,  and  afterwards  of  New 
London,  was  an  elderly  man,  and  probably  a  widower  at  that  date.  He  was  the 
father  of  Deacon  William  Parke,  then  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  and  also  of  Thomas 
Park,  of  Wethersfleld,  and  New  London,  like  his  father,  and  still  later  of  Pres- 
ton, Conn.  They  were  all  men  of  influence.  There  was  an  Alice  Thompson  of 
Roxbury,  Mass.,  widow  of  John  Thompson,  of  Preston,  Northamptonshire, 
England.  In  May,  1640,  her  daughter  Bridget  married  George  Denison,  then 
of  Roxbury,  and  later  of  Stonington,  Conn.  Robert  Parke's  son  Thomas  mar- 
ried a  Dorothy  Thompson.  Does  the  record  above  quoted  refer  to  Robert  of 
Wethersfleld  and  Alice  of  Roxbury?  Was  Dorothy  of  the  same  family  of 
Thompsons?  I  would  like  evidence  on  both  of  these  points,  and  full  informa- 
tion about  the  Thompson  family.  It  is  said  that  the  Park  family  came  from 
Preston,  England,  and  named  the  Town  of  Preston,  Conn.,  after  their  native 
place.  John  D.  Fish.

Paul.— Richard  Paul  and  William  Paul  were  at  Taunton,  Mass.,  in  1636-38, 
Richard  being  one  of  the  original  proprietors  of  Taunton.  Their  descendants 
were  prominent  in  the  early  affnirs  of  Dorchester,  Dedham  and  Stoughton. 
Where  were  they  resident  before  settling  in  this  country? 

Also  would  like  to  communicate  with  any  one  who  can  give  an  account  of 
Daniel  J.  Paul,  a  lawyer,  who  was  at  Millbury,  Mass.,  in  1845-55.

Humphrey  Richards  of  Boston,  about  1693.  Died  there  November  15, 1727, 
aged  61  years.  His  widow,  Susannah,  died  there  1728,  August  10,  while  admin- 
istering the  estate. 

Abner  Morse,  in  his  account  of  the  Richards  families,  says  this  man  came 
from  London,  Eng.,  about  1693,  that  he  attended  Cotton  Mather's  Church,  and 
was  probably  a  brother  of  John  Richards  of  Newbury. 

In  Bodge's  Soldiers  of  King  Philip's  War,  published  in  the  Register,  appears 
the  name  of  Humphrey  Richards,  as  a  soldier  in  Captain  John  Jacob's  company 
of  Hingham,  June  24,  1676,  vol.  xlii.,  p.  102,  and  again: 

Humphrey  Richards  in  garrison  at  Medfleld,  April  24,  1676,  vol.  xliii.,  p,  206.

of  Hingham,  published  by  the  Town,  says,  vol.  1.,  p.  288 :  **  In  1726  seven  Town 
ships.were  granted  to  Officers  and  soldiers  living,  and  the  heirs  of  those  deceased 
who  were  in  the  War  of  1675.  One  of  these  townships  was  Bedford,  and 
among  the  grantees  were  a  number  from  GUngham";  among  them  was  larael 
Vickery  for  tils  father. 

George*  the  settler  had  a  son  George  mentioned  in  a  deed  dated  20  April  1679, 
Suffolk  Deeds,  xiv. ,  p.  291.  His  son  George'  had  a  son  Israel,  which  seema  oon*

Lakmon  and  TowNSEin>.— In  a  Bible  in  my  possession  is  this  entry :  *'  Ebene- 
zer  Townsend  bom  22  June  1716,  and  married  Septr  19th  1738  to  Elizabeth  Lcr- 
mon  bom  6»»»  Sept  1718." 

Ebenezer  Townsend  was  the  son  of  Isaac  and  Anne  (Banger)  Townsend  a&d 
was  bom  in  Boston. 

Elizabeth  Larmon  is  supposed  to  have  been  bom  in  Boston. 

On  the  records  of  the  Brattle  Street  Church,  under  date  of  June  9, 1715,  is  the 
marriage  of  Robert  Larmon  and  Mrs.  Sarah  Tyley.  On  the  same  Church  records 
are  the  baptisms  of  the  following  children  (the  parent  or  sponsor  in  each  case 
being  given  as  Sarah  Larmon)  :  Elizabeth  Larmon,  Oct.  21,  1716;  Sarah  Lar- 
mon, Jan.  11,  1719;  Love  Larmon,  Feb.  19,  1721;  Robert  Larmon,  Aug.  16, 
1724;  Love  Larmon,  Aug.  21,  1726;  Samuel  Larmon,  May  12,  1728. 

January  16,  1788,  Robert  Larmon,  aged  about  15,  son  of  Robert  Larmon  late 
of  Boston,  mariner  deceased,  chose  Benjamin  Clap  of  Dorchester  for  his  guar- 
dian. 

March  81,  1741,  Robert  Larmon,  aged  about  17,  son  of  Robert  Larmon,  late 
of  Boston  mariner  deceased,  chose  Joseph  Trescott,  of  Dorchester,  for  his 
guardian. 

(Suffolk  Probate,  vol.  xxxiv.,  p.  203;  vol.  xxxv.,  p.  312.) 

From  the  foregoing  It  is  evident  that  Elizabeth  (Larmon)  Townsend  was  the 
daughter  of  Robert  and  Sarah  (Tyley)  Larmon,  of  Boston.  Said  Robert  Lar- 
mon, mariner,  having  died  sometime  prior  to  January  1788. 

Can  any  one  give  further  information  about  Robert  Larmon  and  Sarah  Tyley 
and  their  ancestry?  Frank  Farns worth  Starr.

Lamb. — Isaac  Lamb  bought  land  in  Qroton,  Conn.,  Jan.  15,  1696.  He  was 
perhaps  the  Isaac  who  was  baptized  and  owned  the  covenant  at  Watertown, 
July  10,  1687.  A  grandson  of  Isaac  related  to  a  descendant,  now  living,  this 
tradition.  Isaac  Lamb  and  his  father  came  from  England  and  received  a  grant 
of  land  in  Haverhill,  N.  H.  After  a  time  they  were  driven  off  from  it  by  the 
Indians  and  Isaac  went  to  Connecticut  for  safety.  The  name  of  his  father  is 
not  remembered.  I  would  like  to  Icnow  if  there  are  records  to  prove  the  fore- 
going and  give  the  name  of  the  father.  I  find  in  Ipswich  Deeds,  vol.  i.,  p.  701, 
a  Daniel  Lamb  mentioned  as  one  of  two  appraisers  of  a  mare  taken  up  by  Moms 
Gerrish,  19  June  1676.  Daniel  was  the  name  of  one  of  Isaac's  three  sons  and 
the  name  has  been  common  in  every  generation  since.  The  Daniel  Lamb  men- 
tioned I  cannot  place  In  any  Lamb  family  of  which  I  have  record  and  may  have 
been  the  father  of  Isaac  if  the  tradition  is  to  be  trusted.

ordained  January  8, 1844,  in  Grafton,  where  he  preached  for  a  number  of  years, 
and  where  he  is  still  remembered  with  interest  and  alfiectlon.  He  was  installed 
as  pastor  in  West  Boxbury  July  18,  1852,  where  he  remained  until  he  was 
called  by  the  North  Church  in  Salem  (Unitariaa),  where  he  was  settled  June  5, 
1859,  and  where  he  remained  till  his  death. 

Mr.  Willson  was  a  typical  New  England  minister — a  studious,  cultured  man, 
with  a  fine  presence,  grave,  yet  genial  and  gracious,  the  friend  and  counselor 
of  his  people,  an  earnest  preacher  for  more  than  half  a  century,  and  a  zealous 
and  faithful  pastor.    One  has  recently  written  of  him : — 

**  He  was  loved  and  honored  by  all  the  citizens  of  Salem,  regardless  of  creed, 
and  his  presence  at  any  gathering  lent  added  impressiveness  to  it.  He  seemed 
like  a  veritable  patriarch ;  he  was  a  benediction  in  himself.  When  the  Metho- 
dists of  Salem  gave  the  great  reception  to  Bishop  Foster,  Mr.  Willson  was 
selected  to  speak  the  welcome  of  the  Salem  pastors,  and  he  did  it  as  few  men 
could  have  done  it." 

He  cultivated  an  Interest  in  every  good  cause.  He  found  time  to  enter 
heartily  into  a  great  variety  of  studies  and  labors  outside  his  professional  work. 
He  was  engaged  in  prison  and  labor  reform,  and  in  a  variety  of  enterprises  of  a 
charitable  nature.  He  was  interested  in  the  schools,  and  served  on  the  Salem 
school  board  in  1859,  '60,  '61,  '65,  '66,  '67,  '68  and  '69.  He  was  a  valuable  mem- 
ber of  the  State  Legislature  in  1883  and  1884,  and  served  on  the  Committee  on 
Education.  He  was  the  author  of  the  Free  Text  Book  Law,  which  has  done  so 
much  to  increase  the  attendance  of  the  children  of  those  tmmUies  in  moderate 
circumstances,  at  the  public  schools,  especially  the  High  Schools.  He  was 
president  of  the  Salem  branch  of  the  Massachusetts  Prison  Association. .  After 
the  death  of  President  Wheatland,  Mr.  WiUson  was  elected  to  succeed  him  in 
the  presidency  of  the  Essex  Institute,  a  position  of  honor  and  of  responsiUlity, 
which  required  much  active  work.  In  January  last  be  was  elected  vice-presi- 
dent of  our  own  Society,  for  Massachusetts,  to  flU  the  place  left  vacant  bv  the 
declination  of  Chief  Justice  Field.  lo  this  new  position  he  has  accepted  cheer- 
fully a  number  of  important  services  for  the  Society.  The  Bboistkr  for  this 
year  has  contained  three  sketches  of  deceased  members  from  his  facile  pen. 

Mr.  Willson  visited  Europe  in  1878.  He  was  one  of  the  fonoders  of  the 
Salem  Fraternity— an  institution  which  fills  the  place  of  the  Boston  ChrisliMi 
Union.    He  was  active  in  sustaining  the  American  Unitarian  Association. 

He  leaves  five  children— three  daughters  and  two  son* :  Bobert  W.  Willson, 
Instructor  in  Astronomy  at  Harvard,  and  Samuel  B.  Willson,  both  of  whom  an 
graduates  from  Harvard  University. 

He  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  Soci«tj  November  2, 1859.

Thomas  Emerson  Proctor,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  a  life  member  of  this  society 
since  1886,  was  born  in  Soatti  Danvers  (now  Peabody),  Mass.,  Angast  29,  1834, 
and  died  in  Boston  Dec.  7,  1894.  He  was  the  son  of  Abel  and  Lydia  Porter 
(Emerson)  Proctor,  both  of  whom  were  born  in  South  Danvers. 

The  Proctor  family  in  this  country  is  descended  from  John  Proctor,  who 
came  in  1635  from  London,  in  the  ship  Susan  and  Anne,  at  the  age  of  forty, 
with  his  wife  Martha,  aged  twenty-eight,  and  two  children — John,  aged  three 
years,  and  Mary,  aged  one  year.  He  settled  in  Ipswich,  and  later  removed  to 
Salem.  He  died,  probably  in  1672,  as  his  will  was  proved  in  November  of  that 
year.  He  left  seven  children.  His  son  John,  bom  in  England  about  1632,  mar- 
ried in  1662,  Elizabeth  Thomdyke,  and  after  her  death  married  Elizabeth  Ba»- 
sett.  He  had  nine  children.  During  the  excitement  relating  to  witchcraft  in 
1691  and  1692,  his  second  wife  was  accused  of  being  a  witch,  and  was  brooght 
to  trial  and  condemned.  Her  husband,  *'for  showing  proper  regard  to  her," 
as  Hutchinson  says,  fell  under  suspicion  of  the  same  crime,  and  was  also  tric»d 
and  condemned.  [See  Hutchinson,  vol.  ii.,  pp.  25  and  55.]  He  was  put  to 
death  August  19,  on  what  is  now  known  as  Gallows  Hill.  His  wife  was  re- 
prieved on  account  of  her  pregnancy,  and  before  the  reprieve  expired,  the  ex- 
citement had  so  far  subsided  that  she  was  not  executed.  Two,  or  perhai>8 
three,  of  their  children,  were  also  sent  to  prison  under  suspicion  of  the  same 
crime,  but  they  were  discharged  without  a  public  trial.  Four  years  later  the 
legislature  had  to  be  petitioned  to  order  the  release  of  her  husband's  property 
from  forfeiture.  [See  Felt,  vol.  ii.  484.]  It  has  been  suggested  that  the 
charge  of  witchcraft  was  brought  against  Mr.  Proctor  on  account  of  his  sturdy 
opposition  to  the  views  then  prevailing  in  respect  to  witchcraft.  Dr.  Nichols, 
who  wrote  the  historical  poem  for  the  Centennial  Day  of  the  town  of  Soath 
Danvers,  has  this  couplet  of  the  Proctor  family :  — 

"  The  Proctors  they  say 
Will  have  their  own  way.*' 

The  Proctor  family  has  been  widely  scattered  over  New  England  and  beyond. 
It  has  included  a  large  number  of  vigorous  and  successful  men  and  women, 
who  have  done  their  part  in  the  world  as  honorable  and  useful  citizens. 

Thomas  Emerson  Proctor  attended  the  public  schools  in  South  Danvers,  and 
at  the  age  of  thirteen  was  sent  to  Kimball  Union  Academy,  Meriden,  New 
Hampshire,  where  he  remained  two  years.  He  was  an  excellent  scholar  in 
Latin  and  Greek,  and  in  mathematics.  At  fifteen  be  became  a  clerk  in  his 
father's  store,  and  at  eighteen  he  was  a  member  of  the  firm.  He  developed  a 
remarkable  capacity  for  business,  and  acquired  a  large  fortune.  He  was  a  gen- 
erous and  public-spirited  citizen,  of  wide  influence,  but  he  did  not  desire  to 
occupy  any  political  position.  It  is  said  of  him  that  he  declined  the  nomina- 
tion of  mayor  of  Boston,  which  was  tendered  him  more  than  once  by  his  fel- 
low-citizens. He  was  cool  and  collected  where  others  were  excited.  When 
notified  that  his  property  in  Peabody  was  burning,  he  first  found  his  insurance 
papers,  and  then  went  to  the  fire,  ready  to  rebuild.  His  powers  of  body  and  of 
mind  were  always  under  control.  He  had  no  bad  habits.  He  retained  the  men 
in  his  employ  a  long  time,  one  of  them  as  many  as  forty  years.  When  his  mind 
was  made  up  he  was  inflexible  In  his  purposes. 

He  was  president  of  the  United  States  Leather  Company  in  Boston  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  He  anticipated  the  recent  advance  in  the  price  of  leather, 
and  had  made  his  plans  to  take  advantage  of  the  advance.  It  is  said  that  Ida 
company  have  made  a  large  sum  since  his  death  by  following  his  directions. 
He  was  a  director  of  the  Eliot  Bank,  Boston,  and  a  trustee  of  the  Massachu- 
setts General  Hospital  for  many  years.  He  was  also  a  regular  visitor  at  the 
McLean  Asylum  for  the  Insane,  and  was  for  many  years  greatly  interested  In 
it.  By  his  will  he  left  $100,000  to  this  asylum.  The  town  of  Peabody  has  just 
accepted  his  offer  of  eleven  acres  for  a  park,  to  which  gift  is  to  be  added 
another,  from  his  sister,  for  the  same  park. 

Mr.  Proctor  married  Emma  Howe,  of  Newark  Valley,  N.  Y.,  September  1, 
1865. 

Peter  Butler,  Esq.,  was  born  in  Oxford,  Mass.,  January  6,  1820,  and  died 
in  Boston  July  1,  1894.  He  became  a  life  member  of  this  society  in  1869.  The 
family  has  been  connected  with  the  history  of  Oxford,  Massachusetts,  for  more 
than  a  century.    His  paternal  ancestor,  Stephen  Butler,  came  from  England 


1895.]       Necrology  of  Historic  Oenealogical  Society.  468 

about  1640,  ivhile  a  child,  with  his  mother,  who  was  a  widow.  James,  ooe  of 
the  descendants  of  Stephen  Batler,  was  a  member  of  the  Boston  Latin  School 
in  1749,  and  in  1779  removed  to  Oxford,  where  he  kept  a  country  store,  and  car- 
ried on  the  hatting  and  far  bnsiness  for  twenty-five  years.  He  was  a  licensed 
innholder  from  1780  to  1806.  He  is  spoken  of  as  a  good  citizen,  of  enterprise 
and  inflaence.  His  son  Peter,  bom  Dec.  16,  1774,  sacceeded  him  in  the  various 
lines  of  business  in  Oxford.  His  name  appears  in  connection  with  the  business 
of  the  town  as  selectman,  town  treasurer,  as  one  of  a  committee  to  build  a 
meeting  house  and  a  parsonage,  to  raise  the  salary  for  the  minister,  to  enlarge 
the  social  library  of  the  village,  and  in  various  other  positions.  It  is  stated  in 
the  History  of  Oxford  that  he  was  a  man  of  "  much  strength  of  character,  with 
a  remarkable  memory,  well  stored  with  the  productions  of  English  writers  and 
with  local  traditions,  and  endowed  with  rare  powers  of  conversation." 

His  third  son,  Peter,  began  his  active  life  as  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  his  uncle 
James,  at  Rutland,  V t.  After  a  few  years  he  went  to  Boston,  and  was  employ^ 
in  the  store  of  John  C.  Proctor,  a  hardware  merchant.  He  proved  to  be  a  very 
efficient  and  valuable  clerk,  and,  while  still  a  young  man,  he  became  a  partner. 
He  married,  September  5,  1843,  Lucia,  the  daughter  of  Dea.  John  C.  Proctor, 
the  senior  member  of  the  firm.  After  the  financial  crisis  of  1837  and  1838,  the 
old  firm  was  dissolved  and  a  new  firm  was  formed,  with  the  name  of  Proctor 
&  Butler,  occupying  the  store  at  No.  89  State  street.  In  the  forties  this  firm 
was  among  the  principal  shippers  of  goods  to  the  great  west,  then  filling  up 
rapidly  with  settlers.  When  Dea.  Proctor  retired,  Mr.  Butler,  with  the  two 
principal  clerks,  formed  a  new  business  firm,  known  as  Butler,  Keith  &  Hill. 
Subsequently  Mr.  Butler  was  at  the  head  of  the  firms  of  Butler,  Sise  &  Co.  and 
Butler,  Johnson  &  Co.  These  firms  were  very  enterprising,  and  did  much  to 
build  up  the  foreign  and  domestic  trade  of  Boston. 

Mr.  Butler  became  interested  in  the  plans  for  building  railroads  in  New 
Hampshire  and  Vermont,  and  Canada,  to  perfect  a  line  of  communication 
between  Boston  and  the  St.  Lawrence.  He  was  intimately  associated  with  the 
projectors  of  the  Boston,  Concord  and  Montreal,  the  Vermont  Central,  the 
Connecticut  and  Passumpsic,  and  the  Ogdensburg  railways.  He  was  also  inter- 
ested with  General  Whitney,  in  1865,  in  starting  a  line  of  freight  steamers  to 
New  York.     He  lost  heavily  in  the  great  fire,  and  retired  from  trade  soon  after. 

He  resided  for  more  than  thirty  years  in  Quincy,  at  the  Quincy  Mansion,  one 
of  the  oldest  mansions  in  the  country.  He  had  a  choice  library,  and  a  large 
collection  of  rare  and  curious  relics  of  the  past. 

In  politics  he  was  a  Webster  Whig,  and  was  an  intimate  friend  of  that  states- 
man. On  the  dissolution  of  the  Whig  party  he  joined  the  Democratic  party. 
He  was  not  prominent  as  a  candidate  for  any  public  office,  but  he  had  great 
influence  in  the  councils  of  his  party,  and  he  contributed  funds  for  campaign 
expenses.  In  his  personal  and  business  relations  Mr.  Butler  was  much  esteem^, 
and  there  was  never  any  question  as  to  his  business  integrity.  He  left  a  num- 
ber of  children,  one  of  whom  was  graduated  at  Harvard  College  and  the  Har- 
vard Law  School;  was  second  comptroller  of  the  treasury,  under  President 
Cleveland,  and  is  a  successful  lawyer  in  Boston.

March  1,  1876,  was  bom  in  Boston,  January  3,  1823,  and  died  at  his  home,  135 
Beacon  street,  October  24,  1894.  His  father  was  Nathaniel  Pope  Russell,  and 
his  mother  Hannah  Dawes  Hammond,  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Hammond,  mer-

From  1847  to  1876  he  was  treasurer  of  Bnnker  Hill  Monoment  Association,  aad

Christianity,  and  a  promoter  of  them  in  daily  conduct.  He  was  an  organixev 
and  constant  supporter  of  the  Bostonian  Society ;  was  a  member  of  its  execs* 
tlve  board,  honoring  it  by  his  watchful  attentions.  The  history  of  Bostan* 
with  which  so  much  of  the  lives  of  his  ancestors  was  associated,  and  so  madfai 
of  his  own  active  career,  was  a  source  of  delight  to  him.  His  f unond  servioai 
took  place  from  Trinity  Church,  and  burial  at  Mount  Auburn. 

In  the  Reoistbr,  1882,  p.  824,  Mr.  Russell  queried  concerning  the  parentage

RsY.  Alonzo  Ames  Minsk,  A.M.,  S.T.D.,  LL.D.,  of  Boston,  a  resident  mem* 
ber  of  this  Society,  elected  February  6,  1884,  was  bom  in  Lempsttf,  New 
Hampshire,  August  17, 1814.  His  father  was  Benajah  Ames  Miner.  His  mothor 
was  Amanda  Cary, 

The  name  Miner  has  been  traced  back  to  the  time  of  Edward  m.,  who  gtkyn 
a  coat-of-arms,  and  the  name  of  **  Miner  "  to  a  man  who  fitted  out  a  Company 
of  one  hundred  men,  armed  with  battle  axes,  many  of  them  laborers  in  U^ 
mines,  for  the  king,  to  be  used  In  his  wars  "^ith  Fiance.  The  first  *'  Miner" 
died  in  1359.  Thomas  Miner,  who  came  to  Boston  with  Oovemor  Wintbrc^  In 
1680,  was  descended  from  the  first  Miner.  Grace  Miner,  great-granddangfater 
of  Thomas,  married  Samuel  Grant  Jr.,  April  11,  1688,  from  whom  General 
IJlyses  S.  Grant  was  descended.  Charles  Miner,  of  the  fifth  generation  from 
Thomas,  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  removed 
from  Connecticut  to  New  Hampshire. 

Alonzo  Ames  Miner  was  the  second  in  a  family  of  five  children,  and  the  oolj 
son.  He  was  an  invalid  in  his  earlier  years,  and  unable  to  pursue  an  extended 
course  of  stndy.  As  he  became  stronger,  he  attended  for  a  few  months  the 
Academy  at  Hopkinton,  N.  H.  Later,  he  attended  school  at  Lebanon,  at  Frank- 
lin, N.  H.,  and  at  Cavendish,  Yt.  He  began  the  work  of  teaching  at  the  age  of 
sixteen.  At  the  age  of  twenty  he  was  associated  with  the  principal  in  the  care 
of  the  academy  at  Cavendish.  The  next  year  he  became  the  principal  of  the 
Scientific  and  Military  Academy,  a  new  institution  at  Unity,  N.  H. ;  a  position 
which  he  held  four  years.  He  began  to  preach  in  1838,  and  in  June  1839  he  wae 
ordained.  The  same  year  he  became  pastor  of  the  Universalist  Church  in 
Methnen,  Mass.  In  July  1842  he  became  pastor  of  the  Second  Universalist 
Church  in  Lowell.  In  1848  he  was  called  to  Boston,  and  became  pastor  of  the 
Chnrch  on  School  street,  a  position  which  he  held  till  his  final  resignation  of 
the  active  pastorate  in  1891.  In  1851  the  Church  edifice  was  enlarged,  and  Mr. 
Miner  took  the  opportunity  to  make  a  trip  to  Europe.  In  1872  his  Chorck 
dedicated  the  large  and  beautiful  house  of  worship  at  the  comer  of  Columbus 
avenne  and  Clarendon  street,  and  under  his  wise  and  vigorous  ministry  it  entered 
upon  a  new  era  of  prosperity. 

Besides  his  work  as  a  clergyman,  Dr.  Miner  was  connected  with  Tufts  Col- 
lege for  more  than  forty  years.  He  was  one  of  its  founders.  He  subscribed 
generously  to  its  funds.  He  made  the  address  at  the  laying  of  the  cornerstone 
in  1853.  He  was  inaugurated  as  president  of  the  college  tfuly  9,  1862,  and  held 
the  office  until  1875,  when  at  the  urgent  request  of  his  congregation  in  Boston, 
he  resigned  the  presidency.  During  the  time  when  he  held  this  office  he  had  an 
associate  in  the  pastorate.    Apart  from  this  he  wss  the  sole  pastor  until  1891. 

Dr.  Miner  was  a  many  sided  man.  From  early  years  he  desired  to  enter  the 
Christian  ministry.    His  best  and  most  permanent  work  was  perhaps  as  a  pas-

tor,  and  his  last  words  were  addressed  to  his  brethren  in  the  ministry.  Bat  lie 
was  all  his  life  connected  with  institotions  of  learning.  He  excelled  as  a  teach- 
er. He  was  twenty-f  onr  years  cliairman  of  the  State  Board  of  Edncation,  and 
twenty  years  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Visitors  of  the  State  Normal  Art 
SchooL  He  was  for  many  years  a  tmstee  of  Tnfts  College;  was  president  of 
the  Board  of  Trostees  of  the  Bromfield  School ;  president  of  the  Tmstees  of 
Dean  Academy  at  Fruiklin,  where  lie  delivered  the  diplomas  to  the  gradnates 
tlie  day  before  he  died.  He  was  president  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Universalist  Publishing  Honse  on  West  street. 

He  was  one  of  the  "  Hondred  Boston  Orators."  He  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Academy  of  Political  and  Social  Science,  and  of  the  ExecntiTO  Com- 
mittee of  the  American  Peace  Society. 

He  was  most  widely  known  as  a  reformer.  He  had  the  spirit  of  his  Pnritan 
ancestors.  He  was  all  his  life  lighting  the  eyil  which  had  entrenched  itself  in 
the  laws  and  customs  of  society.  He  was  engaged  in  the  temperance  work 
for  fifty  years.  He  often  appeared  before  legislatiye  committees  to  urge  the 
passing  of  laws  to  limit  or  proliibit  the  sale  of  intoxicating  drinlcs.  His  argu- 
ment in  1867  before  the  legislative  committee,  against  the  repeal  of  the  pro- 
hibitory law,  was  a  great  speech,  full  of  facts  and  arguments.  He  occupied  a 
leading  position  among  those  who  are  seeidng  to  secure  a  better  observance  of 
the  Sabbath.  To  liis  latest  years  he  was  reMly,  at  any  time,  to  enter  the  lists 
in  behalf  of  those  principles  wliich  his  Puritan  conscience  commended. 

He  received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.M.  from  Tufts  Collie  in  1861 ;  S.T.D. 
from  Harvard  in  1863;  and  LL.D.  from  Tufts  in  1875. 

He  was  a  ready  writer  for  the  press.  Among  his  best  known  books  were : 
Bible  Exercises,  published  in  1854,  and  1884;  Old  Forts  Taken,  1878,  and  1885.

as  chairman  of  committees.  He  presided  a  number  of  times  in  the  absence  of 
the  president.  In  important  discussions  he  took  a  prominent  part,  and  Us 
influence  was  very  grcAt  in  directing  the  practical  policy  of  the  Society.

Perley.  He  died  June  14,  1895,  In  his  81st  year.  His  wife  survived  him  a  little 
more  than  a  month,  and  died  on  the  27th  of  July  following.

These  two  volumes,  the  first  containing  the  Reminiscences  of  Bobert  Charles 
Winthrop,  and  the  second  containing  thoughtful  and  appreciative  estimates  elo- 
quently expressed  of  his  life  and  life-work,  by  several  members  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Historical  Society,  constitute  a  valuable  addition  to  the  biography  of 
one  of  onr  great  public  men,  a  man  whom  BCassachnsetts,  nay  our  country, 
loved  to  honor  whUe  living  and  whose  memory  will  be  waimly  cherished  in  the 
years  to  come.  Mr.  Winthrop  was,  to  begin  with,  a  man  of  good  parts.  And 
he  received  a  careful  and  thorough  course  of  instruction  at  Harvard  College, 
before  entering  upon  the  advice  of  his  countiy  in  political  life.  After  hoU£ig 
office  in  his  native  state,  he  was  elected  a  member  of  congress,  then  speaks  of 
the  bouse,  and  finally  a  member  of  the  senate  of  the  United  States.  He  was 
an  excellent  prose  writer,  and  also  an  eloquent  orator.  WhUe  he  will  long  be 
remembered  by  his  published  worlu,  it  is  periiaps  as  an  orator  that  his  fime 
will  be  most  secure.    As  Mr.  Henry  Lee  has  wdl  said :    **  After  Mr.  SresHt,

we  have  had  no'orator  who  has  irradiated  so  many  occasions,  local  and  natioiifll« 
with  historical  research  and  sage  reflections  presented  in  clear  and  eaphonious 
speech.*'  We  must  not  forget  the  great  service  to  the  canse  of  education  ren- 
dered by  Mr.  Winthrop  as  the  chairman  of  the  board  of  tmstees  of  the  Peabody 
Education  Fund,  given  by  that  great  philanthropist,  €korge  Peabody,  the  bene- 
ficent and  far-reaching  elTects  of  which  it  would  simply  be  impossible  to  cal- 
calate.  The  following  extract  from  Mr.  Winthrop's  oration  delivered  at 
Yorktown  contains  weighty  words  in  regard  to  the  necessity  of  edncatloa: 
**  Universal  education,  without  distinction  of  race,  must  be  encouraged,  aided, 
and  enforced.  The  elective  franchise  can  never  be  taken  away  from  any  of 
those  to  whom  it  has  once  been  granted,  but  we  can  and  must  make  edncati<m 
co-extensive  with  the  elective  franchise ;  and  it  must  be  done  without  delay,  as 
a  measure  of  self-defence,  and  with  the  general  cooperation  of  the  authorities 
and  of  the  people  of  the  whole  country."  And  again :  **  Slavery  Is  bat  half 
abolished,  emancipation  is  but  half  completed,  while  millions  of  freemen  with 
votes  in  their  hands  are  left  without  education." 

Mr.  Winthrop's  Keminiscences  abound  in  keen  and  yet  kindly  analysis  of 
character,  and  that  too,  of  men  who  exercised  a  powerful  influence  in  shaping 
thought  and  action  during  an  eventful  period.  His  portraitures,  or  rather  outlines 
of  biography,  contain  in  a  few  well-turned  and  felicitous  sentences  what  we 
feel  must  be  accurate  descriptions  of  character.  And  few  men  during  the  past 
half  century  have  had  so  wide  an  acquaintance  among  the  l^iding  men  of  car 
own  land  and  their  English  contemporaries  in  social,  political,  and  literary  life. 
One  great  element  of  his  influence,  one  great  feature  of  his  usefulness  to  his 
fellow  men,  was  the  hopeful  view  which  he  took  and  constantly  expressed  of 
human  nature.  His  judgments  were  kindly.  Said  Bir.  Hamilton  A.  Hill: 
**  His  heart  was  so  thoroughly  under  the  influence  of  that  charity  that  *  hopeth 
all  things,'  that  nil  nisi  honum  was  his  rule  of  speech  concerning  both  the  Ut* 
ing  and  the  dead.  He  was  always  ready  to  say  a  kindly,  pleasant  and  gracefol 
thing,  when  this  did  not  involve  the  obliteration  of  moral  distinctions.'*  Per- 
haps the  most  interesting  feature  of  these  Reminiscences  are  the  glimpses 
which  Mr.  Winthrop  unconsciously  gives  us  of  his  own  greatness  of  Intellect, 
loftiness  of  character,  and  (even  more)  of  his  kindliness  of  heart ;  for  these, 
after  all,  are  the  qualities  that  go  to  the  making  of  the  man. 

It  is  given  to  but  few  men  to  attain  distinction  in  more  than  one  walk  in  life, 
but  it  was  not  so  with  Mr.  Winthrop ;  he  was  a  man  of  letters,  an  historical 
writer,  an  orator,  a  statesman,  an  educator,  a  philanthropist ;  he  was  great  in 
all  these  varied  walks  in  life,  but  he  was  greatest  of  all  as  a  man.

In  January,  1872,  a  brief  article  on  the  '*  Descendants  of  Col.  Richard  Lee  of 
Virginia,"  appeared  in  the  Register.  It  was  contributed  by  Messrs.  Cassias 
F.  Lee  Jr.  of  Alexandria,  and  Joseph  Packard  Jr.  of  Baltimore,  both  descend- 
ants of  Colonel  Lee.  The  former  had  from  his  youth  been  indefatigable  in  col- 
lecting facts  and  documents  illustrating  the  history  of  his  family.  For  a  score 
of  years  longer  he  continued  his  labors  in  this  field,  and  at  his  death,  September 
4,  1892,  had  a  vast  amount  of  genealogical  material  relating  to  the  Lees  of 
Virginia.  His  brother.  Dr.  Edmund  Jennings  Lee,  of  Philadelphia,  has  taken 
this  material  and  added  to  it  the  results  of  his  own  researches,  and  has  given  it 
to  the  public  in  the  splendid  volume  before  us. 

The  book  contains  a  remarkably  full  record  of  the  descendants  of  Colonel  Lee, 
well  compiled  and  well  printed.  Particular  pains  have  been  taken  to  make  the 
biographies  accurate  and  complete.  The  illustrations  are  numerous  and  of  a 
high  order  of  merit.  There  are  thirty  portraits,  *•  photographic  copies  of  old 
family  portraits,  miniatures,  engra\iugs  and  photographs."  There  are  also 
twenty-nine  other  illustrations.

with  Harvard  College. 

The  List  of  the  Days  when  Commencement  was  held  In  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury meets  a  long  felt  want.  Li  October,  1879,  a  list  partly  conjectural  was 
printed  in  the  Register  with  a  view  to  coUect  further  information.  Dr.  Green 
has  made. a  thorough  examination  of  existing  books  and  documents  and  pre- 
pared a  very  full  list,  which  will  be  of  much  service  to  historical  students. 

The  pamphlet,  on  Michael  Wigglesworth,  preserves  much  new  matter  con- 
cerning the  early  editions  of  his  famous  **  Day  of  Doom."  Dr.  Green  has  made 
a  critical  examination  of  all  the  accessible  copies,  and  his  descriptions  of  them, 
and  the  conclusions  at  which  he  arrives,  as  to  date  of  publication,  etc,  may  be 
relied  upon. 

The  pamphlet,  on  Benjamin  Tompson,  *'the  earliest  native  American  poet" 
Is  a  bibliographical  work  of  much  Interest.  It  principally  relates  to  '*Kew 
England's  Tears  for  her  Present  Miseries,"  an  anonymous  work,  published  in 
1676,  which  the  author  clearly  proves  was  written  by  Tompson. 

Dr.  Green's  bibliographical  work  Is  characterized  by  scrupulous  accuracy.

addresses  are  printed  In  the  volume  before  us,  as  Is  also  a  letter  from  Dr.  Henry 
Reed  Stiles,  dated  at  London,  Feb.  7,  1894,  In  which  he  gives  a  minute  account 
of  the  formation  of  the  Society  and  Its  early  history. 

The  Society  during  the  twenty-five  years  of  its  existence  has  accomplished 
much  in  the  way  of  collecting,  preserving  and  diflhsing  material  Illustrating 
American  genealogy,  biography  and  history.  It  has  published  a  quarteriy 
periodical,  the  New  York  Genealc^cal  and  Blographiod  Record,  of  which 
twenty-five  volumes  have  been  completed.

The  Record  Commission  of  the  City  of  Providence,  B.  L,  was  established  by 
a  Joint  resolution  of  the  City  Conncil,  approved  March  6,  1891.  The  first  com- 
missioners were  Horatio  Bogers,  George  M.  Carpenter  and  Edward  Field,  and 
they  have  done  their  work  in  so  satisfactory  a  manner  that  they  still  hold  ofllce. 
Their  first  report  was  presented  March  7,  1892 ;  their  second,  January  80, 1898 ; 
and  their  third,  December  4,  1898.  These  reports  were  all  printed — ^the  first  in 
1892,  pp.  84,  the  second  in  1898,  pp.  81,  and  the  third  in  1894,  pp.  8.  In  these 
reports  mnch  information  about  the  condition  of  the  records  and  documents  in 
the  custody  of  the  city  derk  is  given.  To  the  report  for  the  present  year,  being 
the  fourth,  is  appended  a  ftall  Index  to  the  Providence  Town  YtaperB  from  1642 
to  1790,  filling  over  two  hundred  pages,  including  an  index  to  the  plots  of 
streets  and  highways.    This  renders  the  volume  before  us  of  special  value. 

The  Commissioners  have  also  printed  eight  volumes  of  Becoi^.  These  have 
been  noticed  by  us  in  previous  numbers  of  this  magazine.  They  certainly  de- 
serve much  credit  for  their  work.

The  Indexed  (Genealogical  Begister  consists  (for  ten  generations)  of  sixty- 
four  sheets  or  charts  of  similar  design,  each  cut  away  at  the  lower  left  comer, 
and  so  arranged  as  to  be  self -indexing.  These  are  secured  in  a  neat  cover  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  be  easily  detachable,  thns  allowing  the  removal  of 
spoiled  charts  or  the  insertion  of  extra  ones  for  notes  and  additional  genera- 
tions. The  backs  of  the  charts  are  left  blank  for  notes.  The  arrangement  is 
such  that  a  glance  reveals  the  f  nil  connection  between  the  person  whose  ancestry 
is  recorded  and  any  line  of  his  ancestors.  The  book  opens  at  the  end,  and  each 
chart  lies  perfectly  fiat  when  in  use.  The  Cenealogicid  Begister  has  points  of 
excellence  not  found  in  other  works  of  its  kind. 

Mr.  Tuttle*s  device  is  a  circular  chart  of  stout  jute  paper,  folded  in  sectors, 
and  compactly  secured  in  a  triangular  cover  (7x16).  When  fully  spread  out,  it 
is  thirty-two  inches  in  diameter,  and  presents  the  entire  ancestry  to  the  eye  at 
once.  Ordinarily,  when  in  use,  only  two  sectors  are  exposed  in  the  same  man- 
ner as  the  pages  of  a  book ;  but  the  whole  may  be  quickly  and  conveniently 
drawn  out,  like  a  fan,  for  ready  reference  to  any  part.  Spaces  for  the  names 
of  ancestors  and  dates  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  are  given,  and  room  for 
additional  notes  is  found  on  the  back  of  the  sheet.  This  chart  is  very  simple^ 
easily  manipulated,  and  shows  the  direct  connection  with  any  ancestor.  Copy- 
righted. 

The  Begister  of  Pedigree,  which  has  been  copyrighted  and  ofllcially  adopted 
by  the  New  York  (^nealogical  and  Biographical  Society,  is  made  up  of  eighteen 
(^rts  each  fifteen  by  ten  inches.  The  first  sheet  contains  a  space  for  the  name 
of  the  person  whose  ancestry  is  to  be  recorded,  and  serves  as  a  title  page.  The 
second,  beginning  at  the  left,  has  a  diagram  for  the  ancestors  up  to  the  j^reat- 
great-grandparents,  and  these  are  shown  in  their  proper  places  by  the  cut-away 
or  indented  index  at  the  right.  The  continuation  of  each  of  the  sixteen  lines 
is  shown  on  its  proper  page  indexed  by  the  name  of  that  line.  The  whole 
is  a  simple  and  ingenious  scheme  for  recording  ten  generations.  It  was  de- 
signed for  the  use  of  the  society,  and  each  member  has  beea  nqoested  to  fill 
out  a  chart  and  deposit  it  with  that  society.

English  Brown.    Published  by  the  Bedford  Historical  Society,  April  19, 
1894;  11  leaves. 


The  anniversary  of  the  battle  of  Lexington  and  Concord,  April  19,  1775, 
made  a  legal  holiday  in  March,  1894,  when  Fast  Day  was  aboUshed,  by  the 
General  Court  of  Bfiassa(^nsetts,  and  was  then  named  Patriots'  Day. 

The  first  of  the  works  before  us,  '*The  Story  of  Patriots'  Day,"  is  a  very  uaafiil 
hand-book  for  those  who  wish  to  know  about  the  batUe  and  its  oelebrationa.  It 
is  compiled  from  the  best  authorities  on  the  subject  by  Mr.  Vaniey,  the  edilar 
of  Nason's  Gazetteer  of  Massachusetts.  An  appendix  is  devoted  to  *'  Poena 
brought  out  by  the  first  celebration  of  Patriots'  Day."  The  book  is  well  printed 
and  is  illustrated  by  a  number  of  engravings. 

The  next  work  is  by  Mr.  Brown,  author  of  **  Glimpses  of  New  England  Life." 
It  relates  to  a  **  Souvenir  of  the  19ih  of  April  '76,"  being  a  flag  which  Is  cla1med» 
and  probably  correctly,  to  have  been  carried  on  the  historic  19th  of  April  hj

recently  organized. 

The  Fitchburg  society  prints  its  Constitution,  an  abstract  of  its  proceedings,

and  preserve  much  local  history. 

The  Dover  society  by  vote  directed  the  publishing  committee  to  gather,  in  this 
their  first  volume,  *'  ue  widely  separated  records  of  Marriages,  Births,  Deatiin

We  are  glad  to  note  tliat  there  is  an  increasing  Interest  in  the  importance  of 
preserving  town  records  by  printing  them. 

The  records  of  Concord,  New  Hampshire,  are  printed  by  order  of  the  Council 
under  the  supervision  of  a  committee,  consisting  of  the  mayor  of  the  city, 
P.  B.  Cogswell,  and  Messrs.  Henry  W.  Stevens  and  John  A.  Blackwood.  This 
volume  contains  the  doings  of  the  town  from  1782  to  1820.  A  part  of  the 
records  were  copied  by  John  C.  Ordway  and  the  rest  by  Miss  Isabel  S.  Dana. 

The  Weston  and  Dedham  volumes  are  additional  to  records  of  those  towns 
previously  published,  which  have  been  noticed  by  us.  One  volume  of  the 
Weston  records,  edited  by  Miss  Mary  Frances  Pelroe,  was  printed  in  1898;  and 
five  volumes  of  the  Dedham  records,  edited  by  the  town  clerk,  Don  Gleas<« 
Hill,  have  appeared.    The  same  persons  have  edited  the  volumes  before  us. 

The  example  of  these  three  munldpalitlea  are  commended  to  the  attentloB  of 
other  towns.

Mittofiedl  Sketch  of  Chavnqf-HdU  School,  toUh  a  Catalogue  of  Teaehen  and

"  When  a  strictly  private  school,"  says  Mr.  Cashing,  in  his  Preface,  "  entirdj 
unendowed,  averaging  more  than  two  hundred  pupils,  has  maintained  itself 
nearly  seventy  years,  with  steady  and  increasing  success,  in  a  community  like 
Boston,  it  seems  reasonable  to  suppose  thsA  the  facts  connected  with  its  origin 
and  continued  existence  may  have  some  interest  for  its  numerous  graduates. 
Including  many  of  the  children  and  grandchildren  of  the  earlier  scholars,  pos- 
sibly for  the  general  public**  Such  a  school  is  that  whose  history  is  given  in 
this  book. 

The  Chauncy-Hall  School  was  established  in  1828  by  Gideon  French  Thayer, 
A.M.,  of  whom  a  memoir,  by  the  author  of  this  book,  was  published  with  a 
portrait  in  the  Bbgistkb  for  April,  1865.  Our  readers  who  have  perused  that 
article  must  be  convinced  that  the  founder  of  this  school  was  a  remarkable  man. 
In  the  book  before  us  will  be  found  more  details  of  Mr.  Thayer's  work,  his 
plans  and  his  success ;  and  of  those  of  his  associates  ands  uccessors.  We  com- 
mend the  volume  to  our  readers.

The  Society  of  the  Cincinnati,  organized  In  May,  1783,  at  the  cantonment  of 
the  American  army  at  Newburgh,  N.  Y.,  a  short  time  before  the  disbanding  of 
that  army,  is  the  oldest  of  American  patriotic  societies.  It  met  with  opposition 
in  its  early  days,  and  some  of  its  opponents  were  true  lovers  of  their  country. 
But  their  fears  have  been  found  groundless.  The  society  has  lived  down  aJl 
opposition,  and  now,  in  the  first  quarter  of  the  second  century  of  its  existence, 
it  is  honored  by  the  community  as  a  firm  pillar  of  the  Republic  State  Soci- 
eties, supplementary  to  the  General  Society,  were  then  formed. 

The  volume  before  us  gives  the  history  of  the  Delaware  Society ;  also,  "  a 
brief  account  of  the  Delaware  regiments  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  and 
personal  memoirs  of  officers,  rolls  of  same,  oration  before  the  Delaware  Cincin- 
nati on  the  death  of  Washington,"  and  other  matters.  The  book  is  illustrated 
by  portraits,  facsimiles  and  other  engravings.  It  Is  No.  13  of  the  Papers  of 
the  Delaware  Historical  Society.

The  publications  of  the  Societies  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution  and  of  the  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Revolution  have  been  frequently  noticed  in  our  pages.  We  have 
now  before  us  the  year  books  of  the  State  Societies  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolu- 
tion for  Illinois,  Massachusetts,  Pennsylvania,  Iowa,  and  the  District  of  Colum-

bers' relationship  to  men  who  served  In  the  Revolutionary  war,  and  obituaries 
of  deceased  members,  material  that  will  prove  of  historical  and  genealogical 
value. 

Besides  these  five  publications  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  we  have  before  ns

The  Society  of  Colonial  Wars  is  doing  a  good  work  in  fostering  a  patriot 
spirit  among  ns  and  keeping  bright  the  memory  of  the  worthy  deeds  of  oar 
ancestors.    The  organization  is  rapidly  spreading  oyer  the  whole  Union.

We  are  pleased  to  note  the  continuation  of  Mr.  Arnold's  "Vital  Record  of 
Rhode  Island.**  Six  yolumes  haye  previously  appeared,  and  haye  been  noticed 
by  us.  The  seyenth  yolume  is  before  us,  the  eighth  is  now  in  press,  and  the 
ninth  is  in  preparation.  The  compiler  has  nnderUken  a  great  task,  and  he  de- 
ser\'es  much  credit  for  carrying  it  forward  so  near  to  completion  as  he  has 
done.  Rhode  Island  is  the  only  one  of  the  original  Thirteen  States  that  could 
possibly  have  such  a  record  complied  by  one  man  only.  It  would,  however, 
be  a  good  idea  if  one  man  in  each  county  of  the  other  states  should  undertake 
a  similar  work  for  his  county.  It  would  be  fortunate  if  each  of  the  men  who 
undertook  it  had  the  time,  patience,  energy  and  persistence  to  do  their  work  as 
satisfactorily  as  Mr.  Arnold  has  done  his.  When  the  work  appears  in  print 
many  who  have  been  indifferent  or  careless  will  become  warm  friends  of  the 
enterprise.  Mr.  Arnold  is  deserving  of  the  gratitude  of  his  fellow  citizens,  and 
the  State  is  doing  a  noble  work  in  so  liberally  sustaining  his  eflbrts.  **

Sheffield,  the  friend  of  Gibbon,  who  collected  his  manuscripts  and  other  memo- 
rials, and  who,  twenty  years  after  the  historian's  death,  published  Gibbon's 
Miscellaneous  Work,  was  selected  for  president  on  the  occasion.  An  exhibition 
of  manuscripts,  books,  pictures,  and  relics,  was  held  at  the  British  Museum, 
by  permission  of  the  trustees.  It  was  opened  Monday,  Nov.  12,  and  remained 
open  a  fortnight. 

A  public  meeting  was  held  in  the  theatre  of  the  Museom  of  Practical  Geology, 
at  Jermyn  street,  on  the  15th  of  November,  at  which  the  Right  Hon.  Sir  M.  £. 
Grant  Duff,  president  of  the  Royal  Historical  Society,  presided.  After  an 
appropriate  speech,  he  introduced  Mr.  Frederic  Harrison,  who  delivered  aa  able

historical  address.  The  I4>pendix  contains  a  catalogue  of  the  relics  and  othflr 
historic  articles  exhibited  at  the  British  Mnseum.  A  portrait  of  Gibbon,  frcmi 
Sir  Joshna  Reynolds's  painting,  embellished  the  volnme. 

**  Daring  three  hundred  years,"  says  Mr.  Harrison  in  his  centenary  addreaSv 
<'  the  reputation  of  the  historian  has  been  continually  growing  larger  and  mova 
firm,  his  limitations  and  his  errors  have  been  so  amply  acknowledged  that  th^ 
have  ceased  to  arouse  the  controversy  and  odium  wMch  they  naturally  inritea 
in  former  generations,  and  the  civilized  world,  making  full  allowance  for  dif- 
ferences of  party  and  of  creed,  has  agreed  to  honor  the  historian  for  his  grand 
success,  and  no  longer  to  censure  that  wherein  he  f idled." 

The  commemoration  exercises  and  exhibition  were  a  notable  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  the  great  historian.

We  continue  in  this  number  onr  qoarterly  notices  of  recent  pablicalions  rdsi* 
ing  to  family  history. 

The  book  on  the  PtOTOSt  ftanily  is  a  well  compiled  rolnme,  well  arranged,  hand- 
somely printed,  and  illnstrated  with  fine  portraits.  It  has  a  good  index.  The 
emigrant  ancestor  was  David  ProTOst,  who  was  bom  in  Amsterdam,  Angnst  10, 
1608,  and  came  to  New  Netherlands  in  1624.  Two  years  later  he  returned  to 
Holland,  where  in  1680  he  married  Marg^retta,  daughter  of  Oillis  Ten  Waert,  a 
wealthy  merchant.  In  1634  he  retnmed  with  his  wife  to  the  new  world.  His 
descendants  are  given  in  this  volume.  The  author  says :  **  Much  labor,  timeand 
some  money  have  been  spent  in  collecting  and  verifying  the  data  used;  but 
neither  has  been  wasted  if  its  readers  take  half  the  pleasure  in  perusing  this 
record  that  was  enjoyed  by  the  compiler  when  engaged  in  this  labor  of  love. 

The  next  book,  on  the  Bailey  family,  is  devoted  to  the  Rhode  Island  family 
of  that  name,  descended  from  William  Bailey  of  Newport.  No  connection  has 
been  traced  between  him  and  Richard  Bailey  of  Rowley,  Mass.,  a  record  of 
whose  descendants,  by  Mr.  Alfred  Poore,  was  published  in  his  Merrimack  Val- 
ley Researches  in  1858.  The  compiler  has  done  a  good  service  for  her  relatives 
by  gathering  up  and  preserving  in  print  the  record  of  the  several  branches  of  the 
Rhode  Island  Baileys.  The  book  is  well  arranged  and  well  printed  on  thick 
white  paper.  It  is  illustrated  with  views  of  the  Gideon  Bailey  and  the  Daniel 
C.  Bailey  Houses  in  Greenwich,  R.  I.,  built  in  the  last  century,  and  numerous 
portraits.  It  has  a  good  index.  The  work  on  the  volume  must  have  been  a 
laborious  one.  In  it  the  compiler,  Mrs.  Hannah  C.  (Bailey)  Hopkins,  has  been 
greatly  assisted  by  her  step-son,  Mr.  Charles  W.  Hopkins  of  Providence. 

The  book  on  the  Webster  family,  by  Prentiss  Webster,  is  devoted  to  one 
branch  of  the  descendants  of  Thomas  Webster,  of  Ormsby,  in  Norfolk,  Eng- 
land, whose  son  Thomas  came  to  this  country  and  settled  at  Hampton,  N.  H. 
He  was  the  emigrant  ancestor  of  the  Hon.  Daniel  Webster.  The  volume  was 
compiled  at  the  request  of  Mr.  George  Webster,  now  living  in  his  85th  year, 
who  "rendered  much  valuable  assistance "  to  the  compiler,  leading  him  **to 
the  stories  of  the  localities  in  which  his  ancestors  had  lived,  and  m>m  which 
the  desired  information  had  been  obtained,  together  with  many  reminiscences 
of  his  father  and  grandfather."  The  book  makes  a  handsome  volume  and  seems 
to  have  been  carefully  compiled. 

The  work  entitled  •*  A  Frontier  Family"  is  the  history  of  Rev.  John  Wheel- 
wright, a  prominent  figure  in  the  Antimonian  controversy,  who  came  to  New 
England  in  1636 ;  and  of  some  of  his  descendants.  It  is  reprinted  from  the 
Publications  of  the  Colonial  Society  of  Massachusetts,  the  edition  being  limited 
to  1 10  copies.  The  author,  who  is  a  descendant  of  Rev.  John  WheSwright, 
has  written  a  very  interesting  account  of  his  ancestors  and  kindred. 

The  Speed  pamphlet  is  a  paper  prepared  for  the  Filson  Club  and  read  at  its 
meeting  June  4,  1894,  by  the  Rev.  James  H.  Heywood,  of  Louisville,  Ky.  The 
emigrant  ancestor  of  the  Speed  family  here  recorded  was  James  Speed,  bom  in 
Southampton,  England,  in  1679,  who  came  to  this  country  and  setUed  in  Meck- 
lenburg County,  Virginia.  Many  distinguished  men  are  numbered  among  his 
descendants.    Mr.  Heywood  has  done  Justice  to  them. 

The  two  numbers  of  the  History  of  the  Putnam  Family  whose  title  we  give 
complete  the  first  volume  of  the  work,  which  is  now  brought  down  to  the  seventh 
generation.  We  hope  Mr.  Putnam's  list  of  subscribers  will  be  so  increased, 
that  he  will  be  encouraged  to  hasten  its  completion. 

The  Morehouse  book  is  devoted  to  the  ancestors  and  descendants  of  Gershom 
Morehouse  Jr.,  of  Redding,  Conn.,  a  captain  in  the  revolutionary  war.  He  was 
bom  Nov.  25,  1727  and  died  July  27,  1822,  aged  ninety.  He  was  descendant  in 
the  fifth  generation  from  Thomas  Morehouse,  his  emigrant  ancestor,  who  set- 
tled in  Wethersfield,  Conn,  as  eariy  as  1640,  in  1641  removed  to  Stamford,  ami 
in  1653  to  Fairfield  where  he  died  in  1658.  The  Imes  are  well  traced,  and  the 
book  makes  a  handsome  volume. 

Mr.  Deacon's  two  works  on  the  Deacon  and  the  Meres  families  are  bound  in 
one  volume.  On  the  first  family,  he  tells  us,  he  has  been  engaged  for  four- 
teen years,  and  this  preliminary  sketch  is  intended  as  a  key  to  a  pedigree 
rather  than  a  genealogy  of  a  family.  The  author,  who  is  a  member  of  the  Fair- 
field County  Historical  Society  of  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  has  a  mass  of  material 
relating  to  the  name  which  we  hope  he  will  find  time  to  arrange  and  publish* 

The  work  on  the  Meres  ftunily  gives  an  account  of  several  English  nefws-

Id  tbe  Oarrctt  pomplilul  Rov.  Mr.  Harden  gives  aa  Interesting  sketch  of  the 
life  of  Major  Garrett  and  appends  to  it  a  brief  Qarrett  genealogy.  The  sketch 
was  prepared  for  ])r.  Egle'a  "  Notes  and  Qnerlca  "  lo  the  Harriabarg  Tflegra^h 
where  it  was  printed  in  October.  1893.  The  Wyoming  Massacre  has  always  an 
interest  Btid  new  facts  are  always  welcomed. 

The  Hooker  leaflet  coutalos  an  able  Article  by  Mrs.  Annie  A.  Haston,  of  the 
editorial  stair  of  the  jVeie  York  Mail  and  Erpreaa.  on  Kev.  Thomas  Hooter,  the 
first  minister  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  some  of  bis  descendants.  It  is  reprinted 
(or  distribution  among  the  famllj  by  Commander  Edward  Hooker,  U.  S.  N.,  of 
Brooklyn.  N.  Y. 

The  Chamberlin  pamphlet  gives  a  full  record  of  the  paternal  ancestors  of  the 
compiler,  Joseph  Kdgar  Cl^mberltn.  The  emigrant  ancestor  of  this  family 
was  Richard  Chmtierltu,  who  settled  at  Bralntrec,  Mass.  as  early  aa  IG42,  and 
soon  after  removed  to  Roxbury,  and  thence  about  1 668  to  Sndbury  where  be  died 
in  1673.  Mr,  Chamberlin,  who  Is  of  the  eighth  generation,  has  been  very 
SQCcesaful  In  tracing  his  ancestors,  and  gives  detailed  accounts  of  all  of  them 
In  this  country.     It  Is  a  fine  specimen  of  gooealogy  confined  to  one  line. 

The  pamphlet  on  Chief  Jastice  William  Little  of  North  Caroliua  and  his  de- 
scendants is  by  Marshall  De  Lancey  Haywood,  of  Raleigh,  N.  C.  Jndge  Little 
went  from  New  England  in  the  early  part  of  the  last  centnr;  and  settled  U 
Edenton,  N.  C.  In  1724  he  was  made  Attorney  General  and  In  I7S2  Chief  Jus- 
tice. Since  the  publication  of  this  tract  facts  have  been  dlacorcred  tliat  render 
it  almost  certain  that  he  was  the  William  Little,  son  of  Isaac  of  Marsbtleld, 
who  was  born  Feb.  27,  1692,  and  was  grndnated  at  Harvard  College  in  ITIO. 
The  pamphlet  gives  a  good  sketch  of  his  life  with  notices  of  his  descendants. 

The  Patnnm  and  tlie  Balch  Leaflets  are  intended  to  preserve  In  print  interest- 
ing matter  relathig  to  these  two  families.  The  Putnam  Leaflets  are  by  Eben 
Putnam,  author  of  the  genealogy  of  that  family  noticed  by  us  above.  The  work 
is  Intended  to  be  a  contiunons  supplement  to  that  work.  The  Balch  Leaflet, 
besides  other  matter,  will  contain  liberal  contributions  by  Dr.  Oalusha  B.  Balcb, 
the  historian  of  the  family,  who  has  large  stores  of  genealogical  and  historical 
matter  relating  to  the  name. 

The  Haynes  pamphlet  is  a  reprint  from  the  BsatsriR  for  July  lost.

DEATHS. 


John  Parsons  EAXwAKsm,  MJL,  F.SJL, 
died  at  Pensam.  Abergele,  North  Wales* 
on  the  29  th  January,  1895.  I  acknowl- 
edge at  the  outset  my  indebtedness  for 
the  facts  pertaining  to  the  subject  of 
this  sketch  to  an  obituary  notice  writ- 
ten by  John  Paul  Rylands,  F.S.A., 
and  printed  in  the  '^Chester  Archso- 
logical  JoumaL"  John  P.  Earwaker 
was  bom  at  Cheetham  Hill,  near  Man- 
chester, England,  April  22,  1847.  Al- 
though his  life  was  a  short  one  it  was 
quite  long  enough  for  an  immense 
amount  of  literary  work.  He  loved 
English  history  (in  all  its  Tsrious  de- 
partments and  ramifications)  for  its  own 
sake,  or  rather  for  the  inestimable  bene- 
fit which  this  noble  and  comprehensiTC 
branch  of  learning  is  to  mankind.  Af- 
ter attending  school  at  Alderley  Edge,  he 
studied  for  some  time  in  Germany,  and, 
after  his  return  to  England,  he  studied 
for  several  years  at  Owen's  College 
(winning  there  several  prizes  in  Natural 
Science),  and  he  then  studied  at  Pem- 
broke College,  Cambridge,  and  after- 
wards at  Merton  College,  Oxford,  at 
which  latter  coUege  it  appears  that  he 
took  hia  degree,  gaining  a  first-class  in 
Natural  Science.  He  then  took  a  regu- 
lar course  at  the  Inner  Temple,  but  he 
was  never  called  to  the  Bar.  It  was 
during  his  life  in  Oxford  that  his  love 
for  history  developed  and  it  was  thence- 
forth the  absorbing  pursuit  of  his  life. 
He  was  a  prolific  author,  and  among 
the  long  list  of  his  published  works 
(almost  all  of  which  pertained  to  his- 
tory.) the  most  important  and  volumi- 
nous are  the  **  Manchester  Court  Leet 
Records  "  and  **  Conatables'  Accounts,** 
printed  in  fifteen  large  volumes  and  fiilly 
annotated.  Another  work  involving  a 
great  amount  of  labor  is  the  Index 
which  he  prepared  to  the  WiUs  at  Ches- 
ter, from  1545  to  1760,  including  seven 
volumes.  Mr.  Earwaker  was  for  many 
years  a  Fellow  of  the  Society  of  Anti- 
quaries. He  was  one  of  the  founders 
of  the  Record  Society,  and  was  also  a 
Member  of  the  Counol  of  the  Chetham 
Society  and  also  of  the  Councils  of 
three  other  learned  societies.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  constant  and  unremitting 
labors,  he  was  engaged  for  more  than 
twenty  years  in  gatMring  malfrials  for 


the  history  of  the  Counties  Palantine. 
His  whole  after  life  (from  the  time  of 
his  finishing  his  law  studies  at  the 
Temple)  is  an  illustration  of  the  Uuct 
that  most  men  must  have  some  particu- 
lar calling  or  vocation  and  devote  them- 
selves to  that  and  to  that  alone  if  they 
would  be  proficient  in  it  and  thus  be  of 
use  to  thor  fellow  men.  Men  should 
never  mind  the  seeming  danger  of  be- 
coming narrow.  To  my  mind,  in  this 
day  of  multiplied  avoeaiioiu  and  but  few 
vocationa,  there  is  more  danger  of  dis- 
sipating (by  engaging  in  too  many  pur- 
suits) the  golden  hours  as  they  fly  so 
swiftly  by,  than  there  is  of  b<MX>ming 
narrow  or  bound  to  routine.  But  hap- 
pily the  trend  of  education  has  begun  to 
turn.  It  is  already  beginning  to  ba 
recognized  that  it  is  better  to  master  a 
few  studies,  a  few  books  weU  ( and  those 
of  the  kind  that  stimulate  and  nourish 
thought  and  reflection)  than  it  is  to 
attempt  to  cover  too  wide  a  range  of 
subjects.  Mr.  Earwaker  either  had  by 
nature  or  else  acquired  the  habit  of  ex- 
actitude, without  which  no  historical 
writing  can  be  valuable.  Probably  his 
eirly  training  for  the  law  was  the  means 
of  forming  and  maturing  this  cast  of 
mind.  As  exactitude  is  the  one  indis- 
pensable test  of  all  work  in  the  wide 
realm  of  history,  so  it  may  be  said  to 
be  in  all  branches  of  learning.  In 
other  words  thoroughness  is  the  first 
requisite.  What  is  the  impetus  of  all 
historical  study?  It  is  no  less  than 
the  search  for  truth.  If  it  be  objected 
that  all  historical  writing  is  but  an  ap- 
proximation to  the  truth,  it  is  certainly 
the  nearest  approximation  that  we  can 
get,  the  most  reliable  branch  of  secular 
learning  through  and  by  which  to  cast 
light  upon  the  fiiwcinating  and  manrd- 
lous  study  of  human  life  ever  unfold- 
ing newer  and  greater  possibilities  and 
opportunities  upon  the  wide  stage  of 
human  activity.  The  present  moment 
alone  is  ours.  The  past  iH  beyond  our 
reach.  But  the  lessons  (full  of  deep 
and  solemn  import  which  it  teaches)  lie 
within  our  grasp.  And  who  may  limit  the 
results  which  may  be  obtained  througk 
the  earnest  and  persistent  cultivatioB 
of  the  pleasant  fidds  of  learning.  If 
the  study  of  nature  animate  and  inani*

mate  will  lead  men  up  to  the  etodf  of 
nature's  God,  in  what  largei  meamv^  i» 
this  true  of  the  study  of  man,  of  roan 
made  in  the  image  of  Ood,  standing 
midway  between  the  two  eternities: 
the    eternity    of  the    past    stretching 
back  into  dim  recesses  &r  beyond  the 
reach  of  mortal  ken,  the  eternity  of  the 
future  ever  unfolding  day  by  day  glimp- 
ses of  the  happiness  that  may  be  ours 
in  the  grand  life  to  be^  ever  irradiating 
the  present  even,  with  glimmerings  of 
"the  light  that  never  was  on  sea  or 
l^md."     The  fiiir  domain  of  history  has 
to  do  not  so  much  with  material  nature 
as  with  humanity,  the  great  heart  of 
humanity,  throbbing  and  pulsating  with 
wishes,  hopes,  longings,  yearnings :  the 
human  heart,  in  spite  of  all  its  lapses 
and  fiiilures,  yet  capable  of  turning 
to,  knowing,  loving  and  serving  God* 
Fearless  must  be  our  search  after  truth : 
but  we  may  and  must  condition  it  some- 
what by  the  results  arrived  at  by  the 
great  and  good  who  have  gone  befbre 
us.    And  so  the  deeper  we  penetrate 
into  the  sometimes  confused  and  oon- 
ftising  pathways  of  history  we  may  be 
sure  that  we  shall  find  countless  evi- 
dences of  Divine  Providence  working 
in  and  through  it,  ever  bringing  order 
out  of  what  may  seem  to  us  chaos ; 
countless  evidences  may  we  find  of  the 
Holy  Spirit  brooding  over  the  troubled 
waters  of  life,  and  ever  amid  the  cease- 
less ebb  and  flow  of  human  life  raising 
the  flood- tides  of  righteousness  to  a 
higher  level :  ever  preparinj^  the  world 
for  the  coming  of  the  *'  Kingdom  of  God 
and  His  Christ." — Daniel  Roluns. 

Blias  Howe,  Esq.,  son  of  Elias  and  Han- 
nah (Perry)  Howe  of  South  Framing- 
ham,  Mass.,  was  bom  in  that  town 
August  9,  1820,  and  died  at  his  resi- 
dence in  Watertown,  Mass.,  Saturday, 
July  6, 1895,  se.  75.  He  was  a  descend- 
ant of  John^  Howe,  an  early  settler  at 
Sudbury,  Mass.,  through  Samuel*, 
Samuel,'  Samuel,*  Hezekiah,*  Perley,* 
and  Elias,  ^  his  father  above  named. 
When  a  young  man  he  exhibited  con- 
siderable talent  for  music,  and  copied 
into  a  blank  book  every  tune  he  heard 
played.  In  this  way  he  gathered  a 
large  collection  of  tunes,  which  was  in 
great  demand  by  musicians.  In  1840, 
when  19  years  old  and  working  on  a 
farm,  it  occurred  to  him  to  get  his  book 
published.  It  was  printed  for  him  by 
Wright  &  Kidder,  music  publishers, 
Boston,  under  the  title  of  ♦•  The  Musi- 
cian's Companion."  It  was  afterwards 
extended  to  three  volumes,  and  ran 
through   many  editions.    From   this 


begimitBg,  it  is  said,  sprang  the  Iwge 
trade  in  inuaic  books  9X,  ft  pnynJy 
prioe  in  the  United  Statea,  Iftr.  Bbw% 
about  1840,  opened  a  store  in  Boftton 
and  became  a  dealer  in  musie  and  mu- 
sical instruments.  <*He  wrote  and 
published  all  kinds  of  instrumental 
instruction  books,  and  went  from  eitj 
to  city  selling  them.  In  this  work  hie 
travelled  all  over  the  United  States  < 
became  one  of  the  beet  known 
publishers  in  the  United  States.* 

About  1850  he  sold  out  his 
and  bought  an  estate  in  South  Fi»-> 
mingham,  where  he  resided,  acting  as 
manager  of  an  loe  Company  te 
severid  years.  About  the  year  IMl, 
he  returned  to  Boston  and  engaged  In 
his  former  business.  During  the  esilT 
years  of  the  war  he  sold  drums  end 
flfes  to  many  of  the  Maaaachusettsxsg^ 
ments,  as  well  as  to  those  in  the  west- 
em  States.  He  also  published  mssio 
adapted  for  the  drum  and  fifo  and 
for  military  bands.  He  made  msaj 
trips  to  Europe  for  the  purchase  of  old 
and  valuable  violins,  in  the  vnhift  of 
which  he  was  skilled.  When  he  disd» 
he  had,  it  has  been  said,  one  of  liie 
larg^t  ooUections  in  the  world. 

According  to  his  own  statement,  nasde 
in  1888,  he  bad  then  compiled  and  p«b- 
lished  about  two  hundred  musissl 
works,  some  of  which  appeared  mider 
fictitious  names.  Among  his  pasii- 
donyms  were  **  Gumbo  Chafi^**  mader 
which  name  he  issued  the  *«  Ethiopisa 
Glee  Book"  in  four  numbers,  a^er- 
wards  bound  together,  and  **  Patrick 
O'  Flanigan,"  under  which  he  published 
**  Songs  of  Ireland."  Another  pssn- 
don3rm  was  »*  Mary  O'Neill.** 

He  was  prominent  in  getting  «p  tiis 
Howe  Family  Gathering  at  Harmony 
Grove,  South  Framingham,  Thuraday, 
August  31,  1871,  and  published  ths 
account  of  the  Gathering  by  Kev.  Kiss 
Nason,  M.A.  About  this  time  be  is- 
sued a  prospectus  for  an  extensive 
Genealogical  Register  of  the  fiU»we 
family.  The  Rev.  Elias  Nason,  Willism 
B.  Trask.  A.M^  Rev.  Josiah  H.  Temple^ 
Alfred  Poore  and  others  made  laige 
collections  for  this  work,  but  it  was 
never  publish ed.  A  large  part  of  ths 
MS.  collected  was  left  with  Mr.  Howe. 
Mr.  Howe  was  an  invalid  for  aevefsl 
years  previous  to  his  death.  He  was 
stricken  with  paralysis  in  1887,  and 
had  a  second  attack  in  1891,  when  be 
retired  from  business,  and  was  moat  of 
the  time  confined  to  his  home.  In  1M7 
he  was  married  to  Caroline  Hilla  of

Mr.  Waters  refers  to  this  Overton  will  in  the  note  appended  to  that  of  Mr. 
Buckland  in  these  words:  *'  Among  the  wills  which  I  found  was  the  follow- 
ing, which  I  have  no  doubt  is  the  will  of  Mrs.  Bulkeley's  maternal  grandmother 
and  godmother." 

The  wills  of  Rose  Beawe,  Richard  Buckland,  Matthew  Buckland  (<inle  pp.  392 
-3),  and  Olyve  Overton  were  intended  to  be  grouped  together  by  Mr.  Waters. 
Mrs.  Overton  was  probably  the  mother  of  Mrs.  Rose  Beawe  and  grandmother 
of  Mrs.  Bulkeley,  who  doubtless  derived  her  Christian  name  (Olive)  from  BCTs. 
Overton.  Reference  is  made  to  the  Bulkeleys,  in  the  following^  two  wtils.—

[The  Randal  Syms  whose  Admon.  I  give  above  was  possibly  the  man  called 
brother  in  law  by  John  Scrogges  of  Patmer  Hall  in  Hertfordshire,  1592  (see 
Rbo.  for  1894,  p.  123).  It  is  evident  now  that  Mrs.  Sarah  Symmes  of  Cam- 
bridge, New  England,  was  not  a  daughter,  as  I  have  suggested  in  my  note 
appended  to  the  will  of  Ann  Scroggs  (on  page  125  of  the  same  vol.)-  Her  age, 
as  given  on  page  126,  would  show  It  to  be  impossible. 

The  will  of  Thomas  Man,  which  I  give  below,  is  most  interesting  since  be 
speaks  of  a  Sara  Sims,  who  was  dwelling  with  him,  as  the  daughter  of  his  late 
wife,  and  further  on  in  his  will  he  mentions  a  son  in  law  Randoll  Simmes.  Ae 
he  also  calls  the  Lady  Stanley  his  late  wife*8  sister  he  must  be  referring  to  the 
same  family  of  Symmes  noticed  In  the  wills  of  the  Scrogges  family.  Sir 
Thomas  Stanley  seems  to  have  married  Mary,  widow  of  John  Scrogges,  mother 
of  Edward  Scrogges  and  grandmother  of  the  Anne  Scroggs  who  referred  to  her 
cousin  Sara  Simmes  as  in  New  England  in  1641. 

What  John  Davenaunte  had  to  do  with  this  family  I  do  not  know.

Anne  Denison,  named  in  the  will  of  John  Borodale,  can  be  none  other 
than  the  second  wife  of  Capt.  G«orge  Denison  of  Stonington,  who  came,  a  lad  In 
his  teens,  in  the  Lion  1631,  a  fellow  passenger  with  the  Apostle  Eliot.  He  grew 
to  manhood  at  Roxbury,  where  his  father  was  deacon.  He  there  married 
Bridget  Thompson,  who  died  early,  leaving  two  daughters.  Denison  returned 
to  England,  participated  in  the  unhappy  wars,  then  prevalent,  and  was  wounded 
at  Naseby ,  where  he  served  under  Cromwell.  In  his  wounded  condition,  he  was 
attended  by  a  daughter  of  the  gentleman  to  whose  house  he  had  been  carried.  On 
recovery  he  married  the  lady,  who  was  Ann,  daughter  of  John  Borodell,  as  the 
name  has  been  usually  spelled  here ;  again  came  to  Roxbury  and  dwelt  there  tin 
1651,  when,  in  the  interest  of  Massachusetts,  then  claiming  the  eastern  section 
of  Connecticut,  he  removed  first  to  the  Pequot  river  and  finally  iu  1654  to  Ston- 
ington, then  called  Southertown  {vide  Rboister,  Oct.  1893,  p.  459),  was  appointed 
*'  clerk  of  the  writts  '*  and  commissioner.  After  the  absorption  of  the  whole 
territory  by  the  colony  of  Connecticut,  Denison  remained  at  Stonington,  where 
he  led  a  life  of  the  most  active  and  distingnished  character,  in  botii  civil

military  aflkirs.  As  a  soldier,  do  citizen  of  his  day  was  more  conspicooiis,  ex- 
cepting only  John  Mason.  He  died  at  Hartford  in  1694,  in  his  76th  year.  His 
wife,  Ann  Borodell,  long  outlived  him,  dying  in  1712  at  the  age  of  97.  Tliree 
sons  and  three  daughters  married  into  the  leading  families  of  sontheastem  Ck>n- 
nectient,  and  the  farm,  originally  settled  by  Capt.  Greorge,  is  in  the  occupation, 
as  it  lias  ever  since  been,  of  his  namesakes;  while  the  name  and  fame  of 
Ann  Borodell  are  perpetuated  in  hundreds  of  her  fair  descendants  in  the  Ghd- 
lup,  Stanton,  Palmer,  Chesebro,  Miner,  Williams,  BabcoclL,  Brown  and  Wheeler 
families.  It  is  traditional  in  those  families  that  Ann*s  brother,  John,  came  to 
America,  but  the  language  of  the  will,  above  quoted,  renders  the  tradition  un- 
likely.   Possibly  his  son  John  came. 

Margaret  Borodell,  as  is  well  known,  was  the  third  wife  of  Rev.  Thomas 
Shepard  of  Cambridge ;  and  on  his  disease  became  the  wife  of  his  successor.

James  Capen.  The  third  day  of  September  A. D.  1628  James  Capen 
of  Holborne  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  scrivener,  being  sick  in  body  but 
of  good  memory  did  by  word  of  mouth  declare  his  will  and  purpose  how  his 
estate  should  be  disposed  of  after  his  death,  as  followeth ;  first,  he  did 
appoint  that  his  mother  Joane  Capen  the  wife  of  Barnard  Capen  of  Dor- 
chester in  the  County  of  Dorset,  shoemaker,  should,  out  of  the  estate  of  the 
said  James,  pay  unto  his  four  sisters  unmarried  four  pounds  apiece.  And 
all  the  residue  of  his  moneys,  apparell  and  goods  whatsoever  he  gave  to  his 
said  mother  to  do  with  it  according  to  her  mind.  Whereunto  were  wit- 
nesses Barnard  Cai>en  the  younger  and  Jerom  Wolverton.  Barnard  Capen 
hb  luke  (sic/)  Jerom  Wolverton.  Barrington,  83. 

[It  appears  from  a  copy  of  an  original  Capen  family  record,  printed  in  the 
Register,  ii.,  80,  that  '*  Barnard  Capen  maryed  Joan,  y*  dafter  of  Oliuer  Pur-

aged  75  yeers  ** ;  she  was  bom  about  the  year  1578. 

A  fragment  of  the  original  grave-stone  of  Barnard  and  Joan  Capen  was 
found  a  few  years  ago,  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Dorchester.  It  is  in  possession 
of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  a  copy  of  which  is  here 
appended,  as,  also,  a  copy  from  the  renewed  stone,  as  it  now  stands,  in  that 
ancient  burial-ground.  This  is,  probably,  "the  oldest  Inscription  to  be  found 
on  any  grave  stone  in  New  England,'*  so  far  as  the  date  of  death  of  Bamard 
Capen  is  concerned. — Register,  iv.,  165.

[I  am  much  inclined  to  believe  that  the  William  Hill  whom  Mr.  Ignatius  Jnr-

of  Mrs.  Mary  Godwyn  of  Lyme  Regis  in  1665  (see  Gleanings,  Part  I,  pp.  70-71),

In  New  England,  or  rather  his  wife  and  children,  bore  to  Ignatius  Jnrdidn  I  can-

[The  above  is  a  larger  abstract  than  was  given  by  Emmerton  and  Watera  tn 
1880.  The  two  wills  preceding  this  have  been  gathered  since  1883.  It  is  alto- 
gether probable  that  Giles  Boadman  was  the  father  of  Andrewe  Bordman  (both 
of  Cambridge,  England)  and  that  the  latter  was  the  father  of  our  WilliaA

of  William  Bordman  of  Cambridge  in  New  England,  who  came  over  in  the  ship

steward  of  the  college,  and  died  15  July,  1687,  aged  forty-two  years.

[John^  Snelling  of  Plympton,  St.  Mary,  Devon,  Eng.,  d.  8  May,  1529;  his  son 
and  heir  was  William^.  His  grandson  Bobert'  of  Chadlewood  d.  \%  Mareli,

Plympton,  St.  Mary.  Her  will  Is  given  above.  Her  uncle  William*  came  to 
Newbury  and  was  a  physician;  on  13  Oct.,  1654,  he  purchased  a  house,  gulden 
and  orchard  In  Boston.  His  wife  was  Margery,  eldest  dau.  of  Giles  Stagg  of 
Southwark,  whom  he  mar.  5  July,  1648.  Their  children  were  William,^  b.  24 
June,  164U ;  Ann,^  b.  2  March,  1652,  d.  young;  Ann  J  b.  7  May,  1654.  The  vrife 
d.  18  June,  1007,  age  46,  and  Is  burled  in  Copps*  Hill. 

The  will  of  William*  is  proved  at  Boston,  1674,  and  In  it  he  states  his  reUticm- 
ship  to  Thomas*  as  **  the  youngest  son  of  the  late  Thomas  Snelling  of  Chaddle- 
wood."  The  seal  he  used  has  the  arms  of  the  Devon  family  —  '*Arg.,  three 
griffins'  heads  erased  Gu.,  a  chief  ermine  " — with  a  mullet  as  a  mark  of  cadency, 
this  denoting  his  being  a  descendant  of  a  third  son  (probably  his  grandfather), 
as  his  brother  John,*  in  his  pedigree  of  the  family  In  1620  (Harl.  MSS.  1163, 
folio  109),  calls  him  fourth  son  of  Thomas.*  This  John,*  father  of  Frances,^ 
before  mentioned,  could  not  have  been  the  settler  In  New  England,  as  suggested 
by  Mr.  Augustus  T.  Perkins,  In  the  Heraldic  Journal,  vol.  U.  p.  11 ;  or  the  set- 
tler at  Saco,  1653,  as  given  by  Savage,  as  he  was  burled  28  Dec.,  1689,  at  Plymp- 
ton, St.  Mary. 

There  has  also  been  credited  to  Dr.  William*  a  brother  Joseph,  who  nowhere 
appears  In  the  English  pedigree.  Other  wills  of  this  family  would  show 
beyond  question  whether  the  identity  of  the  father  of  Dr.  William*  is  as  given 
above. 

Ann,7  dau.  of  Dr.  William,  m.  Frances  Davenport,  mariner,  of  Boston. 
Their  eldest  dau.  Margaret  mar.  James  Gooding,  jun.,  of  Noddle's  Island, 
and  they  had  Richard  Gooding,  b.  18  Oct.,  1700. 

Ann  Davenport  m.  Thomas  Russell  5  Sept.,  1700,  and  had  William,  b.  4  May, 
1701;  Ann,  b.  15  Nov.,  1702;  Thomas,  b.  1  Sept.,  1705;  Ann,  b.  7  Oct.,  1706; 
Sarah,  b.  7  July,  1709. 

William^  Snelling,  son  of  Dr.  William,*  d.  1678,  and  doubtless  practiced  as  a 
physician,  as  Sewall  mentions,  under  date  3  Sept.,  1676,  sending  to  Dr.  Snelling 
for  professional  advice. 

By  the  marriage  of  Dr.  William's  daughters,  and  through  their  children,  there 
were  doubtless  descendants  of  Dr.  William,  though  Savage  states  there  were 
none. 

Bridgraan,  in  his  Copps'  Hill,  gives  John*  as  the  father  of  a  Thomas  who  emi- 
grated to  America  (1640-1650),  with  an  English  pedigree.

[This  will  I  have  saved  on  account  of  the  mention  in  it  of  a  Thomas  Dudley 
(see  Mr.  Dean  Dudley's  remarks  on  the  possible  connection  of  Purefey  and 
Dudley).  H.  F.  W. 

The  testator  John  Pnrefoy  was  of  Shalston  in  Bucks.,  son  and  heir  of  Ed- 
ward Parefoy  of  Shireford,  Esq.  (Leic.)  who  was  bom  at  EfBeld,  June  13, 1494, 
and  died  at  Shalston,  June  1,  1558.  Edward,  Esq.,  was  son  and  heir  of  Nicho- 
las. (See  Herald's  Visitation,  published  by  Harl.  Society,  1869.)  The  pedigree 
reaches  back  to  A.  D.,  1277.  John  Parefoy  of  Shalston,  the  testator  in  the 
above  abstract,  was  the  one  mentioned  on  page  19  of  my  History  of  the 
Dudleys.  Nicholls's  History  of  Leicestershire  says  he  married,  at  St.  Dunstan's 
in  Loudon,  Anne,  daughter  of  Thomas  Windsor,  Esq.,  of  Bentley,  son  of  Sir 
Andrew  Windsor,  K.C.B.,  brother  of  Edmund  Dudley's  first  wife,  that  is, 
Edmund,  father  of  John  Duke  of  Northumberland.  She  was  his  second  wife. 
The  first  wife  of  the  testator,  John  Purefoy,  was  Elizabeth  Brome,  dan.  of 
Sir  John  Brome  of  Hatton,  co.  Oxon,  Kt.  He  does  not  mention  any  children 
and  probably  had  no  descendants. 

The  Heralds'  Visitation  and  NichoUs's  Leicestershire,  give  the  names  of  his 
eight  brothers  and  five  sisters,  making  14  children  of  Edward  Purefoy,  Esq., 
and  his  wife  Anne  Fettiplace,  (dau.  of  Richard  Fettiplace  of  Bassils-leigh, 
Berks.)  bom  at  Shireford  Parva  July  16, 1496,  d.  1568. 

The  fourteen  children  were  as  follows :  1.  John,  testator.  2.  ThomaSy  mar- 
ried a  daughter  of  Wenman  or  Waynman,  d.  $.  p.  3,  Bichard,  who  (says  the 
Visiution)  married  **  Nicholas  Foxton,  widow,  daughter  of  Pell.**  This  means 
NichoUs  of  Faxton,  daughter  of  Pell.  (See  History  of  Dudley  Family,  page 
18.)  She  was  dau.  of  John  Pell  of  Eltington,  Northants.,  and  widow  of 
Thomas  Nicolls,  Esq.  One  of  the  Visitations  calls  him  **  Nicholas  de  Pitchl^," 
meaning  Nicolls  of  Pitchley  (Pightsley)  Northants.  He  was  the  father  of  Sir 
Augustine  Nicolls,  of  Faxton.  Richard  Purefoy  purchased  Faxton  manor  and 
he  and  his  wife  Anno  (Pell)  both  died  there.    4.  Henry ^  d.  $,  p.    5.  Edward^  d

Simon  Puref oy  whose  wife  was  Barbara  Dixwell.  They  were  85  years  of  age. 
Elizabeth  was  wife  of  William  Ackworth  of  Kent.  Perhaps  they  had  Ihred  ww 
him  in  their  youth.  **  Cousin  Edward  Puref  oy*'  might  mean  his  nephew  Bd- 
ward*s  son  Edward.  **  Thomas,  Mary  and  Katharine  Worriey"  were  diildntt 
of  Katharine  (Thome)  Worsley,  wife  of  Francis  Worsley  and  daughter  of  Ifnjf 
(Pnrefoy)  Thome.  The  children  of  Andrew  Skne  (Skeme?)  ml^t  baye  b^en 
his  mother's  grandchildren.  Ck)nsin  Robert  Thome,  son  or  grandson  of  Idi^ 
sister  Mary.  Probably  this  sentence  is  to  be  read,  **  My  cousins  Bob^t  Tkofli^ 
Mary  Worsley  and  Katharine  Worsley,  Thomas  Dudley  and  Thomas  Strdli^.'* 
His  brother  William's  first  wife  was  an  heiress,  widow  of  Strellqr.  **  Nepheir 
Edward  Thome  "  was  son  of  his  sister  Mary.  **  Brothers  William  and  Rldhaod 
Puref  oy."  Richard  had  no  children.  He  was  husband  of  Judge  Nicolls's  motlisr 
lit  Faxton,  Northants. 

Our  Got.  Thomas  Dudley  was  three  or  four  years  of  age  in  1679.  It  may  tta 
that  he  was  the  Thomas  Dudley  of  the  will  and  that  this  was  the  legacy  wbleb 
was  bequeathed  him  as  Mather  describes.  (See  Hist,  of  Dudley  Family,  psgs 
•41.)  If  he  was  the  legatee,  his  mother  was  probably  a  niece  of  the  testator.  It 
Is  qnite  interesting  to  see  this  name  **  Thomas  Dudley,"  connected  witii  these 
Purefoys,  among  whom  we  have  been  looking  for  his  relations  and  for  fiM3ts> 
about  Yds  mother's  family,  who  were  known  to  have  been  just  such  a  PorltUi 
race,  connected  with  the  Nicolls  and  Fell  families. 

The  wills  of  other  Purefoys  may  show  the  nature  of  his  kinship  to  them  alL.

Faneuil  Families,"  pp.  45-64. — ^Edftor. 

Andrew^  and  Benjamin^  Faneuil  were  Huguenot  refugees  from  La  Bochelle, 
France.  They  first  settled  near  New  York  city,  at  New  Bochelle.  BenJamUi 
married  28  July,  1699,  at  Kingston,  B.  I.,  Ann  Bureau;  their  son  Benjamin' 
bom  29  Dec,  1701,  died  October  1785,  and  Peter*  born  1700,  died  3  March, 
1742. 

Andrew^  went  to  Holland  and  married  there,  bringing  his  wife  to  this  country, 
where  she  died  16  July,  1724.  He  died  13  Feb.,  1738,  disinheriting  his  nephew 
Benjamin,  and  making  his  nephew  Peter  residuary  legatee,  and  to  the  latter  we 
are  Indebted  for  Faneuil  Hall. 

The  wills  here  given  are  of  Andrew,^  and  Benjamin'  son  of  Benjamin,' 
grandson  of  Benjamin^  and  nephew  of  Peter'  Faneuil.  Benjamin'  married 
Mary,  the  daughter  of  Rev.  Timothy  Cutler,  of  Trinity  Church,  and  died  In

fugees from  the  colonies.  Mary'  the  sister  of  the  testator,  married  George 
Bethune. 

The  family  name  of  Faneuil  has  disappeared,  there  being  no  descendants  of 
the  male  line  through  the  testator  or  his  brother  Peter,'  who  went  to  Canada. —

MEMORIAL  BIOGRAPHIES,  VOL.  5. 


The  Fifth  Volume  of  Memorial  Bioirraphies  of  deceased  members  of  the 
New-England  Ilidtoric  Genealogical  Society  is  just  published.  It  contains 
memoirs  of  49  members,  or  of  all  who  died  between  April  16,  1862,  and 
June  15,  IS64.  The  four  previous  volumes  contain  memoirs  of  162  mem- 
bers, making  a  total  of  211  memoirs  in  the  five  volumes — an  average  of 
42  memoirs  to  a  volume. 

Each  volume  contains  over  five  hundred  octavo  pages,  printed  on  superior 
paper,  handsomely  bound,  and  indexed.  The  price  is  $2.50  a  volume,  or 
$10.00  a  set.  When  the  book  is  sent  by  mail,  the  postage,  25  cents,  will 
be  added. 

This  series  of  volumes  is  replete  with  historic  and  biographic  lore,  of 
constantly  increasing  value — great  pains  having  been  taken  to  make  the 
memoirs  complete  and  accurate. 

The  books  make  excellent  presents,  especially  from  members  of  the 
Socii'ty  to  their  friends.     Only  a  small  edition  of  this  volume  is  printed. 

Those  icho  tcish  to  secure  it  should  send  in  their  orders  early.
